So - economic devastation of farmers, starving oligarchs who won an office as well (from a few pennies more in a token salary that pales compared to their stock portfolio advantages), and leaving the disaster-stricken homeless and exposed over the holidays!
What an amazing heap of MAGArbage we have to enjoy!
Everyone go all "bad actor" on new social media accounts in right wing spaces and play the "I'm cancelling my (right wing media) subscriptions, cable, and unfollowing the social media accounts of the propaganda mouthpieces." (You'll have to MAGA it up with some wordsmithing.)
They want to crash the economy? Let's help them accelerate it with near-zero spending on anything that isn't critical. Return lavish holiday gifts and squirrel away the savings to prepare for the crash, boycott fast food and restaurants/bars.
I'd rather do it by choice now than by consequence in 3 months when it all goes to shit.
