We dont want the imaginary recession that would totally happen under Biden. We want the real recession under Trump
It’s ok to drive the economy off a cliff as long as we did it on purpose!
Kamala first time home buyers tax credit, would have helped the economy alot
The recession is worth it for Trump because he’s the only person he cares about.
Still gets to avoid going to jail.
Still gets to hide his tax evasion.
Still gets to put money in his own pocket by going golfing every week and charging the US tax payer for it.
Still gets to dismantle the IRS
Still gets to dismantle the FBI
Still gets to take bribes.
Still gets to money launder.
Still gets to have his revenge on people that tried to hold him accountable to all his crimes.
Still gets to suck Putins dick.
Still gets to have his ego inflated daily by all the idiots he’s putting into positions of power.
The Recession is totally worth it to him.
It’s a cult, not a political party. The rest of us are just along for the ride, at this point.
The people that rely the most on social security voted to have it taken away, despite paying into it their whole employed lives. They voted to starve and give their money to the rich. Their own money.
These people are not what you would call bright.
You know what also blows my mind? Hunters, anglers, etc who should be the biggest conservationists always vote to sell off and pollute public land.
Pro-life people should vote for policies that help pregnant women and infants, but red states are the absolute worst for infant and maternal mortality.
It WILL be worth it to him… We’ll all be poor and he’ll buy up all our shit for pennies on the dollar. HE WANTS A RECESSION
There’s something uniquely americunty about producing the most monumental idiot to have ever skulked the face of this dying world.
Then put him into the position of highest authority in the cuntry.
Worth it for what? What is the goal?
One that managed to bankrupt 6 businesses, including somehow, 3 casinos. My mother still thinks he is a business genius, my dad would have never voted for this conman if he were alive. Dad was a Rightie through and through, but he knew a charleton when he saw one.
But also, we cant elect Joe Biden because of the price of eggs!
I’m okay with short term suffering for long term prosperity, but I’m not so sure about the long term part.
Also, it’s hard to get away with this in a Democratic system, since you are going to get voted out because of the short term suffering. China’s Authoritarian Capitalism can get away with it because of the one-party system, but you can’t pull that off here.
Don’t let anyone tell you different – the US economy was doing great under Biden. Look at the charts and compare them to other countries post pandemic. No need to fire hundreds of thousands of people in the government. There was already a major deficit after Trumps first term and the pandemic exacerbated it. There was no need for these drastic changes, except to consolidate a dictatorship and benefit the upper class, who already have no concerns. It was a brilliantly led misinformation campaign to sucker millions of uneducated voters in our country with a penchant for conspiracy.
Because to r/conservative, it looks like Trump is playing 4-D chess.
In reality, he’s playing Checkers using chess pieces, and doesn’t fully understand the rules of checkers.
And they are too fucking dumb to know the difference.
The recession is a necessary price we have to pay to get to a depression!
Imagine if a democratic president was trying to sell this same shit popsicle. Conservatives and Fox news might literally explode in a fit of rage. But not there dear leader.
Why do people think they will be better off after a recession? It’s all because the recession makes the rich richer and the rich have told them this will make them richer
“A recession would be worth it” because he has to act like everything that happens is part of the plan. He is incapable of admitting he’s not in control or that he made a mistake.
Ignorant people will always vote for ignorant leaders.
Worth it for who?
This is what conservatives do. There is no winning with them, because they will defend whatever happens as a positive outcome.
Trump comes into office and the stock market rises? Trump did that and it’s good.
Trump comes into office and the stock market drops? It was Biden’s fault/it’s necessary to get us “back on the right track”
The White House supports Ukraine? That’s good because Russia invaded them
The White House condemns Ukraine? That’s good because Ukraine is taking advantage of the US
The White House pressures Ukraine to accept Russian control of their territory? That’s good because the most important thing is peace.
The White House threatens to invade countries? That’s good because those countries are taking advantage of the US.
Elon Musk fires people illegally? That’s good because he is doing it for the good of America
Elon Musk stops firing people? That’s good because Trump knows which people need to lose their jobs and which don’t.
Elon Musk wants people to buy electric vehicles? Well, it depends: Do I think he is a liberal? Then FUCK electric vehicles. They are gay and communist or something. Wait, he supports Trump? Oh…well, I need a Tesla to piss off the liberals then, because having no actual guiding principles is good.
Judges stop a democrat from doing something? That’s why we have checks and balances.
Judges stop a republican from doing something? Who the fuck do these activist judges think they are?? Impeach them!
Donald Trump commits an impeachable offense every single day he is in office? That’s good, because we need strong leadership, not a puppet. Impeaching him is just democrats playing politics.
Joe Biden leaves the toilet seat up in the White House bathroom? Impeach him, see how the liberals like it!
You can’t defeat unfettered hypocrisy. It has to be unacceptable to be a hypocrite, or democracy doesn’t work.
It’s like the dumbasses who are hoping for civil war. Like, don’t you know what war is like? This isn’t a video game. Every gun owner should have to work in a morgue in areas affected by gun violence or war.
Depression times, hope yall like horse meat.
They would totally give a Democrat president this much latitude, right??
One with an estimated 63 IQ…
Same thing happening in New Zealand. Just happened in New Zealand first.
“Just give him time!”
Did they give Obama time when he took office following the Great Recession? The economy was WAY worse than the one Biden left Trump.
A bald orange one
He said some people are going to get some good deals.
These are the same people who would always ask “… but how’s your 401k doing?” during his first term and used that to back their claims of “greatest economy ever! stocks are through the roof!” but then said the economy was omnishambles under Biden and ignored the ever-increasing new market highs
They’ve been steadily moving the goalposts on the coping with the downturn now, it started out “it’s just going back to where stocks were in December, everything just got pumped up when trump was inaugurated”. Then “it’s just going back to where they were in November, everything just got pumped up when trump was elected”.
Now it’s “a recession will be good”. I’m sure at some point it’ll be “oh stocks are just going back to where trump left off before Biden’s fake economy drove the fake markets up fakely”
The vast majority of these people have absolutely no skin in the game and are just regurgitating memes to give the impression they’re not buried in debt to try and appear more successful than they are
Does anyone in here understand finances? Or are we just saying things because that’s how you feel and/or what someone has told you?
What do you mean you people?
At what point does Worton Business School resend his degree “I went to the worlds finest school “JFC!
They can only play pretend for so long they eventually had to elect a republican who’s going to do all the bad things they blame democrats for.
Recessions are good for rich people. On paper it looks like they’ve lost a lot in assets as their stuff devalues, but they have the money to not only to sit o. Their assets and not have to sell them, but they also have the money to buy up the stocks, properties, assets etc. That have hit rock bottom prices. It let’s the biggest companies and people buy up everything and concentrate it all at the top, while common folk suffer.
It’s not stupidity, it’s their plan. They’re not even hiding it or pretending all that hard anymore.

Worth it to who? The billionaires of course. They’ll easily be able to weather the storm and buy up as much as they can while it’s cheap once everything starts to recover. Everyone else will be living in shacks owned by Amazon while working at distribution centers, eating Amazon rations, going to Amazon Schools and so on.
The bigliest.
I have been saying it since the orange clown was inaugurated, the Republicans “team” won in their mind they are winning and owning the libs so even if they are watching American Democracy die first hand all they can think is “my team won were owning the libs” not until trump starts a literal war are they going to realize the irreparable damage this fool and everyone who’s complicit is doing to this countrys reputation and standing on the world stage
Considering about 20% of Americans are illiterate or functionally illiterate, this fits.

What, you saying you DON’T want $49 eggs? There isn’t any wrong think here is there?
I couldn’t stand Biden cuz he made mah egg prices so expensive and we was in a recession so I voted for Trump! Now I trust Trump when he says we needs to be in a recession to reset the economy. He’s so smart, smarter than me!
>>Even though he speaks at a third grade level<< but he’s a good businessman!
>>With 6 bankruptcies including a casino and the only reason why he was able to float for as long as he has was because of Daddy’s money<<
But I saw what a good businessman he was because I believe everything I see on reality TV!
(And honestly, most of my family are MAGAT, I wish I was making this up but most of this, but I’m not. Except the least unhinged of them have better English)
the worst kind
