When idiots suggest that the psychopath will be better for the economy

what do they mean? Are they really dumb enough to believe the contradictions and nonsense being spewed by the psychopath? I could only imagine that the ultimate outcome will be a system that overwhelmingly favors the wealthy with insane tax deductions and deregulations that negatively impact both the economy and the environment. Let's consider gas prices for example. Republicans would have people believe that increasing supply will drive down prices which is an insane claim on its own due to the global market and financial deregulations leading to price fixing and speculation which destabilizes the market. But even applying the republican supply side argument it would make even less sense to assume increasing supply will lead to lower prices since supply side fucks assume that higher supplies magically leads to higher demand, thus effectively driving prices up again.

There are the bigoted idiots and the lazy oligarchs who feel entitled to everything. In fact, I wish the Democratic party would use the conservative 'poor people are lazy' statement against them. The oligarchs are the lazy fucks that reap profits off the backs of working people. Not only that, they see themselves as above the law and see the government as an instrument to further their own parasitic agenda. They feel entitled to tax cuts and deregulations which is insane to even fathom. They are the true parasites and disease in this world and they have been given free reign for too long. It is utterly infuriating how people could vote for one of these scum to be their president.
