This sounds most reasonable to me. The Recession is coming has been beaten and then forgotten and repeat since 2022. I remember all this. People from the left are latching onto anything that is:
A) confirms that Trump will "tank the economy:
B)
will make his voters look stupid and or regretful
C) of course the right has their own bullshyt on this subject
D) My theory is that social media, extreme partisanship by highly visible social media players and content driven algorithims are driving almost all of this
E) Someone tweets something, a data point, a study, a whatever, and then people use it as confirmation, and it goes viral.
F) This is a horrible horrible political strategy and essentially like doubling down on 2016/2017
