He probably echoes most liberals, tbh. You know they are implicitly hoping for some sort of decline to gain politically.

quote:

I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point—and by the way, I’m hoping for it, because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy,” argued Maher. “So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession or you lose your democracy.”


They are actively rooting for America to fail to get a win politically

sick and sad. Period.

Also, can someone give me an OUNCE of evidence that trump is trying to get rid of the right of the citizens to vote. That is the literal definition of democracy. If he isn't trying to take away that right, then he is not a threat to democracy.

I doubt you can baseline your average Democrat based off of DU as they are definitely fringe but yeah you see that sentiment expressed widely over there. You see that type of behavior often from partisan hacks of all shades, but I’ll insert my own bias into the fray with my perspective:

They hate prosperity because prosperity only emerges when you go against their belief system and they cannot admit to that reality

Meh. Pretty standard for those tied so closely to politics hoping the others policies fail. How is that different than what Rush said toward Obama?

Last I checked, Trump was elected through a democratic process. Does Magee know something we don't?

Maher is a fricking tool. Had Clinton won in 2016, we'd have had a Clinton or Bush in the White House for all but 8 years since 1989. How is a political dynasty good for the Republic?

And another thing: what a stupid piece of shite. Hoping that millions of people go through economic and psychological hard times because you have TDS and sand in your vagina. Seriously, what does he offer to society except dumb arse opinions?

He's not going to get that. This economy is fricking roaring and it's not going to slow down.

Even Warren Buffet who is no fan of Trump is very bullish on the economy.

WE DO NOT HAVE A DEMOCRACY, NUMBNUTS!!!!

BTW, does anyone have any idea idea what "lose our democracy" even means?

I'm sorry. Are there too many jobs? Is that the problem? Welfare? Do we need more people sucking at the gubmint tit? Should we have stayed in that stupid Iran 'deal'?

Someone please tell me what it is that is threatening democracy in this country.

If the USA ever loses its democracy you can rest assured it'll be the Prog/Dim leftists that make it happen.

Rush clearly stated he wanted Obama's Policies to fail but not America. Obama wanted to Fundamentally Transform America, remember?

Little Dick Weed is wishing failure for the Country just to spite DJT.


There is a big difference if your cognitive abilities are functioning.

So sick of hearing this tripe. "Attack on our democracy" and "Lose our democracy." None of them can even define exactly what that means.
