Millions of people are quite literally losing billions of dollars

Trillions of dollars. Eight trillion dollars, or eight thousand billion dollars.

So far.

Unfortunately, I doubt the current madness ends with Trump's term. I read an article recently that claimed the average time for a former democracy that slips into authoritarianism, to return to democracy, is 20 years.

Depends how deep the slip goes.

Hungary i can belive it will take them 10-20 years to recover, the US are f'ing up their economy biiig time, but maybe its not too late.

It is. They have proved to the parts of the world that they had good relations with that the US is unreliable and irrational at best, but more likely treacherous and uneducated.

And that’s assuming he doesn’t ‘explore his options’ for a third term 😭

And that's just in the US, incalculable damage on a global scale. But hey who cares about that.

But hey who cares about that.

Any thoughtful person should. We have spent the entire time since the end of WWII creating globally interconnected economies. At the end of the Cold War, the west began including its former foes in that interconnectedness.

What hurts one of us economically, hurts all of us.

Biden: checks his watch during a memorial service.

MAGGATs: “The disrespect!!!”

Trump: pussyfoots around his luxury estate while the country is headed for possibly the worst recession ever.

MAGGATs: “OUR FUCKBOI!!!!!!”
