Usually the experts are all condescending & snobby & tell you why another #recession will never happen. Now they're telling you to prepare for one.

Democrats spent over a year telling us that #inflation wasn't a real issue & that it was all in our heads. They told us the economy's "great" & even condescendingly called it a "vibecession". That's just one of the many reasons why Democrats lost.

We're a day away from JD Vance making a comment about eye shapes.

I know it's not the CCP's style but mentioning something about furniture would take the wind out of the Couchfucker's sails.

Interesting twist to do the fascism on your way into a #GreatDepression instead of the other way around.

It has been two weeks since a #Georgia woman was arrested for her #miscarriage, & not one major national #outlet has covered the story.

If there's any good news to take from all this it's that there's no longer any doubt that #neoliberalism is dead.

#Neoliberalism leads to internally untenable levels of #inequality such that it ultimately gives way to either fascism or #socialism. The Democratic Party did its best to make sure socialism would never appear to be a real alternative. As a consequence, we're now getting the fascism treatment.

Being a #leftist in #America feels like showing up to #English class having done the reading, but being forced to listen to kid after kid who didn’t read the book try to sound like they read the book.

& you know they haven’t read the book, because you did.

Anyway, “the book” is history.

If you asked most people in this country to come up with $1000 immediately, they couldn't. THIS is where the country has been for years.

Ask the shitlibs who say they want to "fight fascism" this question:

Will you support a #socialist #revolution should the time come that it happens?

And see how they respond.

I had one tell me they'd rather Trump declare himself #dictator than let that happen.
