Yeah, as much as I've shit talked libs on here the past few days, the Trump supporters in my life have been just as insufferable.
"The economy is going to be great!"
"Interest rates are going to go down so it'll be easier to buy a house"
"Prices are going to go down"
We've already been through this at least once in our life times. Whatever "economic" recovery there's going to be is going to be to the benefit of the rich while everything will remain expensive for the rest. I really want to know what this mythical time Trump supporters talk about just a mere 4 years ago, between 2016 and 2020, when everything was great. Aside from stimulus checks and increased unemployment benefits in the last year of his presidency, what else did he do to improve people's lives prior to that?
Democrats and Republicans really have no sense of object permanence.
If we have a massive recession, interest rates, inflation and housing prices might plummet!
