I’m calling it now: Democrats are going to trample the GOP in the next couple of elections; the hedge funds, private equity, etc will respond by rug-pulling a market that’s been over-bought for years; the media will then push the narrative they’re handed: that the crash is the result of left wing economic policy; and the public will guzzle it down mostly unquestioned.

There’s a lot of time for the details to sort out differently, but this is my best guess for how 2029 will ultimately rhyme with 1929

@shovemedia@triangletoot.party Republicans 🤝 Democrats building an economy that crashes as a feature, not a bug

@shovemedia@triangletoot.party the astonishing number of ways the dnc can snatch defeat away from the jaws of victory is the kind of thing legends are made of. There are certainly many we can think of, and more frighteningly, a myriad of ways we can't think of. They're like a baseball pitcher who can throw 12 different strikes, amazing! Then your heart sinks as you realize that instead of an actual baseball they brought a baseball sized dingleberry to the game.
