There's been so much hysteria and stupidity since Trump beat Clinton a year and a half ago that I'm numb to it most of the time. Every so often though, somebody manages to break through:

“One way you get rid of Donald Trump is a crashing economy, so please bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession or lose your democracy.”
I'm tempted to leave it at, "You want more Trump? This is how you get more Trump," but there's more here that needs to be said.
Casually saying "Sorry if that hurts people" is obviously a "sorry, not sorry and I don't give a shit about the people who will be hurt" attitude. This coming from an asshole who reportedly makes $10 million per year and is currently worth as much as $100 million. Why the hell should he care about a recession? It's not like it's going to hurt him. Hell, he may even save some money on his house staff and gardeners. But a recession will hurt millions of real people who don't enjoy Maher's cushy lifestyle. Hoping for one is nothing less than despicable.
If our republic(not democracy) were actually at risk there may be something here to discuss, but it clearly is not. Trump is not stomping all over the Congress or the Judiciary. In fact, both branches have been working overtime to counter his initiatives. In response, Trump has sent his jack-booted thugs to round up the recalcitrant judges, elected leaders, and the press by the thousands.
Or not even one.
Let that sink in, Bill. Not even one. Yet you would see millions suffer because...because...because you are essentially nothing more than a crybaby loser who can't accept that your side lost an election. And every last one of your fans are crybaby losers the same as you.
