Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

For me the scariest thing is that if he did that or even half of that - it would damage the economy but - of course - he will escape blame by the republicans. And many independents too? He'll spew hateful/toxic lies and create scapegoats (for example - "globalists") and a large percentage of Americans will believe him or sort of believe him or pretend to believe him.
He will take the blame but democrats are so insufferable that people would vote for him a third time just to piss on them.
I'm not sure about that. There are loyalists on each side who are ride or die no matter what, but whoever is in office tends to take the blame for a bad economy regardless of whether or not it's their fault.
Although this would fuck everyone over, it could also put us into a revolutionary situation. A far-right government is doing it, so the left has every opportunity to seize the moment. This is still very scary, but all is not lost
Question is do the Liberals get to take credit for it? If they do, then things get fucky again.
