Literally, I just heard from a particular place on the Internet ... and I shit you not...

A recession is better than whatever the other person had in store for us.

I swear, Trump could bend them over and shove shards of glass up their ass and they would just prefer that over whatever bad they imagined in their head.

I'm depressed at how often right-wingers try to win an argument by creating a fictional reality in which they're right. (If that, even. Sometimes the dreamscape exists purely to make their opponents look hypocritical, pathetic as that is.)

Not just a straw man, but a straw reality.

I can do you one better:

The markets going down is good because the people selling are just dumb day traders. All the good investors like Elon and Buffett will scoop it up because they know how to handle it better long term

Like, I think they heard the bad scenario from a left of center person, that consolidation of wealth is bad, and went "well, if they hate it, then I love it!"

They dont have anything imagined. Just that everything and everyone else is bad.
