It’s going to be interesting seeing how they spin cratering the economy.
blame blame blame: it's because of biden, the deep state, foreign enemies like canada and mexico, woke, DEI, the phase of the moon... anything and anyone except themselves and their actions.
Their base will buy whatever bullshit Trump hurls but there are going to be a group of Americans that voted for him that are not going to be amused. And there are going to be the rest that didn’t vote for him -or didn’t vote at all- who are going to be livid if we are not already.
there is a trend on twitter of posting vids of trumpers complaining about losing their jobs, it wasn't supposed to happen to them, they didn't vote for this, dear leader trump please ya gotta fix my personal situation, etc. at first it's vaguely satisfying, but ultimately it's pyrrhic... those people are not suffering alone. i don't want to own the magats, i want a functioning and prosperous country.
My brother in law lost his job in home building about a month ago and no luck yet and he usually gets hired right away. My partner says a lot of her colleagues in public health have been let go and she works a lot with CMS.
my employer announced major layoffs this week, hundreds lost. this week has been a write-off in terms of productivity: all work has been put on hold while people deal/process/mental health, and then figure out what the firings mean in terms of planned work, delivery schedules, new responsibilities, etc. corporate might have saved money on salaries and benefits, but i wonder if the collateral damage was taken into account...
