What monstrosity will we get in 2028 if Democrats win both the House and Senate in midterms, and then continue Trump's Iran War and goes along with a bailout when the AI bubble collapses?

If that debt collapses uninsured that means that anyone who holds an IRA, 401k, or market ETF is a major, catastrophic bagholder. Not something I would cheer on.

You are right, but while I get real schadenfreude from this I am well aware it is NOWHERE near worth the human cost.

The thing is I have always treated the possibility/inevitability of this eventuality seriously so I am going to keep laughing while I cry because it helps me.

Also save your breath for the people who are responsible for this, I never advocated for a single step down the path of this deathcult.
