america is done with being an economic super power, and the middle class will not survive if trump serves all 4 years
That’s wildly hyperbolic and flatly untrue.
America’s time as the post-Soviet singular superpower is over. But our enormous web of business, military, and political allies are still here. Many of them are congeling around Trump in anticipation of a new polarization of the world.
Neither is the middle class as an economic cohort going to vanish in a measly four years. The professional managerial class is larger than ever and the demand for professional labor is only growing. Boomer retirement is giving wage earners enormous amounts of clout.
the point of my comment was not about the literal definition of a recession, it is about the greater implication of what the american citizens who voted trump, and did not vote have done to us.
Trump’s hamfisted temper tantrums have fucked supply chains in the short term and bond yields in the mid term. But you’re dismissing trillions in infrastructure and tens of millions of bureaucratic workers who aren’t invested in this regime or who actively oppose it.
