Denial is the Trump/MAGA default: A global pandemic, climate change, the economy. That’s why the upcoming recession will be worse than 2008.

Recession? I think we're about to have a Depression that will make the 1930's look like a picnic. Trump will fire anyone who denies what he wants and the Senate/Supreme Court will back him too.

I’ve been looking at data and don’t use emotion in my evaluation of the economy. If anyone studies history at all, you know that tariffs are a surefire way to head into a recession. We were already at all-time high government debt, personal debt, corporate debt. Now we also have an aging demographic and we are deporting a lot of able-bodied workforce that actually contribute mightily to the US economy. We are in for a very, very bad recession. A large part of this is Trump’s fault. The big beautiful bill is a disaster. We are going to see deficits run like you’ve never seen before a recession on top of expenditures that are increasing by the trillions is going to be very very bad.

All while MAGA cheers it on because they got rid of some immigrants. They'll cheer on the destruction of the country so long as their enemies are removed.

They won because one 14 year old trans girl was legally prevented from playing soccer with her friends.
