I (naively) thought that the affect of the tariffs would sour some folks on Donald. But now I'm seeing this new narrative that Trump is tanking the economy on purpose to lower interest rates in order to more easily pay off the national debt. People telling me I know nothing about economics if I don't think a recession is a good thing. He literally can do NO wrong in their eyes and it's disturbing

MAGA voters want the rest of us dead. This isn't a glib observation. They genuinely are worse than 1940s nazis. They know nazi and genocide history and want to invoke all of it and will lie through their rotted teeth to get us there. The nazis in the 40s get to claim they didn't see the genocide coming because it wasn't genuinely taught to them. The MAGA nazis today want it and will say anything to get us there. Last year they were all like, "oh Trump won't do project 2025. it's all conjecture. vote for him." They damn well knew it was happening. MAGA are worse than nazis.

They don't just know nazi and genocide history, a sizeable portion of them had relatives who lived it, and express pride for being related to those same relatives while championing the beliefs those relatives fought against. Its sick.
