One thing I keep hearing with these MSM interviews with “voters” and what I keep seeing in the polls is this notion that traitor trump will be better for the economy. Never mind the less-than-stellar performance of the economy under traitor trump’s administration. COVID aside, his economic performance was okay. Yes, he was president when the stock market hit all-time highs. Just as President Biden has been in office while those all-time highs continue, besting traitor trump. To be sure, if you wanted to get rich in the stock market, then Biden made you more prosperous than traitor trump ever did. But that’s usually lost on — well — everyone. Traitor trump’s unemployment rate during his administration was on par — not that much better, not that much worse (including COVID) — with his contemporaries. GDP growth was fair to middlin’. He blew up the national debt, but, as usual, f***tards of America only seem to care about the debt when a Democrat is in the White House; otherwise, it’s “What national debt?” Of course! It never f***ing fails with people in this country; citizens invariably misattribute good economies to RepubliKKKlans and wrongly blame bad economies on Democrats when the exact opposite is true.
Yet the real irony is that people in this sh*t-for-brains country like to think that fascist/authoritarian governments can sustain a thriving capitalist economy. Here’s the short answer for the f***tards out there: Not! All one needs to do is look to other dictatorships: Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc. I’ll exclude China for now because that is an authoritarian, communist country that makes their version of “capitalism” work by stealing intellectual property from the West, by the Communist Party having their hand in every company, by the West having a burning desire to gain access to a market of 1.4 billion people, and by being the country that has the cheapest labor resources on the planet. To be sure, China’s version of “capitalism” relies on a vast class of the working poor. Their economic engine relies on poor workers and a government that subsidizes whatever aspect of the economy they want to support or enhance competiveness globally. They simply play by a different set of rules and get away with it because the West is in love with their cheap labor and population of consumers who are not poor. Don’t get me started on economic nationalism. But I digress.
Our new economy under a traitor trump second term will look more like Putin’s Russia, where kleptocracy and cronyism define and govern the rules of the road. Musk and other RepubliKKKlan billionaires are already proof of this. Yet, once again, morons of America think they’ll be the beneficiaries of billionaires’ crumbs. And don’t give me the excuse that he didn’t ruin capitalism the first time in office. You stupid, stupid people! You’re so f***ing dumb! His first term in office was merely practice, and he never realized his power potential until the fourth year. Now that traitor trump knows what he can get away with and better understands the type of people he must surround himself with, he’ll absolutely destroy American capitalism for his own gains and to appease the uber-rich, who also — ironically — think that a failing economy works better for them. He will pick the winners and losers of industries. The winners will suck up to him and pay him tribute — literally — while the losers will find themselves under DOJ investigations and subject to more government red tape than ever before. You know, that red tape he keeps promising to eliminate. Of course, he only means that for the companies willing to play his game. Mark my words, f***tards! For in this game, the average Joe and Jane are no where in his calculus. You idiots will just be causalities on the checkerboard, and he won’t care. No RepubliKKKlan will care. I promise you, prosperity does not trickle down in a kleptocracy. Wealth will only be further concentrated at the top. But inflation!
Oh, yes! F***ing inflation! You supremely stupid people of the highest f***ing order only care about inflation. Inflation! Inflation! Inflation! (Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!) When it comes to inflation, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Everything traitor trump espouses on the campaign trail is inflationary, but for whatever reason, idiot voters can’t seem to comprehend this. For one, blanket tariffs will be inflationary. Full stop. (Maybe I’ll write a post just on this topic because the vast majority of voters — and traitor trump — really have no idea what tariffs are or how they work. Hint: The governments of exporting countries don’t pay the tariffs.) Also, mass deportation of “illegals,” as he promises to do, will destroy America’s cheap labor force. Absolutely f***ing destroy it. How do you think that will impact the economy when suddenly jobs go unfulfilled? When there is no one to do the jobs that migrants do? Do you think the average lazy American will fill those jobs for the same pay that migrants were willing to be paid? Nope. Americans will demand more money or not work. Either way, these are inherently inflationary outcomes (in the short run). In the long run, equilibrium will eventually restore the balance between aggregate price inflation and aggregate wage inflation (just like wages kept up with prices post-COVID), but there is going to be a lot of pain in the meantime associated with a shock to the system as workers are rounded up and removed from the workforce. Indeed, it may happen sooner rather than later. If traitor trump is declared the winner, immigrants may self-deport immediately to avoid concentration camps. We may have a situation where people just disappear themselves as if the Rapture started without the true believers. But you can’t explain this to the average idiot voter because the vast majority of Americans have never taken an Econ 101 class. Yet, everyone thinks they’re a f***ing economist because they understand gas prices. Un-f***ing-believable! This is the world of stupidity I live in. Oh, well. Whatever. Welcome to stupid America, just as dumb as one expected it to be and no smarter.
