Who said that? We had at least 3 recessions in 30 years.
And what does that have to do with the elite? They don't care about recession. Worst case they move to a new country pending full collapse. They will never own up to the consequences of their actions.
Seeing that article -- an article that basically has zero actual foundation for its headline -- quoted constantly by people justifying an autocracy / oligarchy, is simply amazing.
Americans are staggeringly, blissfully unaware of what they have to lose. Of how far things can fall. And they are going to fall at a shocking clip.
And somehow you'll blame that on Democrats. It's the norm.
To be honest, i do not care much for the clownish figureheads of the tribalist regression. I care for a extensive root cause analysis, so that there is a viable, voteable-for alternative in 3 years when democracy comes once again to the test. One that has no old democratic figureheads (well maybe except for bernie) and no "right on, right on" as program. I want party internal reform and if for that the party as a whole has to renorm and give up on beloved ideas it deemed more important than the voters thus far so be it.
Also, calling Trump supporters "dogs" is more demeaning and more insulting than any "deplorables" stuff. This is not even anti-intellectual stuff, this is anti-human.
