“Ukraine journalist Marko Suprun and Russian-born foreign policy journalist Julia Ioffe said something interesting this morning on CNN. They were pointing out that observers often make the mistake of thinking that Russian disinformation is designed to pit the American left against the American right to sow chaos. But, in fact, they pointed out, Russian disinformation is designed to pit the American left and the American right against the American center, because it is in the great American center that democracy lives.”
And a link to an excerpt I heard on NPR this morninghttps://www.npr.org/2020/02/24/808764408/democratic-frontrunner-bernie-sanders-doesnt-have-a-lock-on-the-party
Goody, the left side of the coin also banking on hate - yay.
If anyone ever actually reads this blog, they are likely to dislike what I am about to say; but I’ve always seen Bernie and Trump in the same light, though Bernie is a little less despicable. And even my husband, a neoclassical economist, was musing yesterday that things are so bad, one might as well vote for Bernie and overturn the apple cart. That is as may be. Here is my prediction 🔮:
If Bernie gets the nomination, possibly, and even probably, Trump wins. But if he doesn’t and Bernie does, the Senate becomes redder and the House reverses to red. That said, with that asshole Harry Reid having gotten rid of the filibuster, and the Trump administration having accelerated the amassing of executive power, we will be in for an interesting ride. There will be capital flight, possibly a bad recession; and the stock market will tank, but then adjust. As far as the general public being better off, that remains to be seen.
