I'm still on the fence about this.
It's certainly conceivable that the Trump Whitehouse will throw excessive amounts of money at the problem - i.e. going downright socialist by giving millions of citizens $1,000 to $2,500/mnth welfare cheque through the spring.
The almost certainty is that Trump (GOP et al) will do anything possibly to remain in power come November.
- tj-teej 7y agoI think this is a very interesting analysis. I think it's more apt to say there could be a Populist wave in Nov, which could be very positive for whichever party adopts a populist stance. Looking at the current state of the Democratic Primary it doesn't appear it will be the Dems which push that agenda.
- dluan 7y agoThis has been a big fear of the left - that if the GOP takes up the socialist plank for the working class before the DNC does, it would be a death knell for the resurgent American left. Throw in climate fear after this recession and there's been a lot of worry of ecofascism surging.
