[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanted this and expected this. Why should we admit we were wrong? Your line of thinking is very puzzling for a Trump voter.[/quote]

So you wanted hundreds of thousands of unemployed people, a stock market correction and trade wars with our closest allies?[/quote]

Yes.  This shouldn't be hard to understand.  Yes OF COURSE we wanted hundreds of thousands of cushy federal government jobs eliminated.  These people have been working from home FOR FIVE YEARS.  Yes of course we wanted a correction.  We are the party of the middle class.  We need cheap houses and cheap stocks to buy.  We're not fatcat DC lobbyists trying to preserve high stock prices so we can sell and live off the proceeds now that the Dems are out of power.  And yes of course we want trade wars.  The U.S. is poised to win them.  U.S. labor benefits from trade barriers more than from free trade and open borders.

Republicans are happy, not sad.  Democrats, now out of power AND losing political activism funding they used to pilfer from the taxpayers, are obviously not happy.  Nor should they be.  They will be out of power for at least the next 12 years.  [/quote]

Reads as pure cope. And you're not getting another 12 years off of the coming economic performance. Tick tock, it's coming to an end day by day.[/quote]

It's not cope it's just observation.  Republicans don't tend to become Democrats any more than Democrats become Republicans.  I understand that dcurbanmoms are upset about government layoffs, but most taxpayers aren't upset.  Democrats refuse to run on popular policies, and that hurts them.  Now the plan seems to be just to hope that Republicans disappoint themselves while in power?  Or to hope that a recession will make people yearn for Democratic leadership even though the electorate trusts Republicans more on the economy?

As Dems, we seem to be saying, "OMG!  We're losing jobs!  Everything is falling apart!  Trump is coming after us in ways we never expected!  Republicans must hate this too, right?  Right?  Republicans want us back in power now, right?  Right?"  This doesn't seem to be a winning formula.  [/quote]
