      I can’t pretend that I know for a 100% sure that they will be. But the signs are not great. Also Tax Cuts for the Rich didn’t go all that well when Liz Truss tried it here in the UK.

        The bourgeoisie will get yet another economic crash to scoop up assets on the cheap, further consolidating wealth and power in the hands of a few. I really don’t see how this hurts anyone but the working class.

          Hurts the petit bourgeoisie, which is the only ones the working class see. Also, because Trump is a vengeful narcissist, you can bet that certain sections of the liberal elite are going to get a coating.

          Edit: just finished writing this and happened across this meme which probably puts the case to you better than I could:

            So billionaires will be way better off, politicians will be fine, the working class is doomed, rights will be stripped away from vulnerable minorities, but that’s fine because small business owners will also be hurt? I just question the rationale of that strategy. It is literally a 4chan NEET’s “screw everyone” plot.

            Also, because Trump is a vengeful narcissist, you can bet that certain sections of the liberal elite are going to get a coating.

            This seems like burning down your whole neighborhood to get back at the guy down the street.

              Yeah. That’s what it is. That’s exactly why you’ve got Trump and I’m being entirely serious here.
