People won't spend money under an authoritarian regime
Gray clouds looming on the horizon. When citizens think the stock market may crash because there is a madman at the wheel they aren’t going to Pet Smart to by cat toys. They may have forgotten the pandemic when they pulled the voting lever this time around but when their wallets get tight that will be a reminder of the empty super market shelves we had under Trumps 1st Reich.

New DUmmie trying to score points.

If memory serves the empty store shelves were during Biden’s term. I seem to remember a supply chain crisis and Biden’s butt boy, Pete, stayed home so he could pretend to breast feed a couple kids he and another dude adopted. Seems like he was gone for 3 MONTHS when he was needed and wouldn’t even answer the phone.

Well, there was 2 or 3 months in 2020 when TP and other commodities were in short supply, courtesy of Covid. But in Biden's term the only virus was Biden and his Incompetents.

peregrinus is a virtue-signaling LPC noob seeking DUmp Cred. Like other more senior DU-Denizens he needs to get his head out of the in his @$$.

The claims of the left progressive democrats are going to be more ridiculous and wild than a decent and civilized person can imagine. The effect of their "buycotts" will be imperceptible just as they always have.

My realistic economic prediction is the GDP is going to explode. Prices will be coming down, except in blue states, where excessive regulation will keep them high and getting higher. The sad thing is that DUchebag leftists will get to share in these good economic times just as they forced us to endure the terrible economic times the demofascist donks gave us.

I dunno, Progs' boycotts of CfA and Hobby Lobby seem to have had significant effect, .

Appointing ND Governor Burgum as SecInt should have Enviros birthing hissing yowling devil-kittens. Lower energy costs could be in prospect, which would boost the economy.

Why are these idiots acting like this is Trump's first term as president? I realize that they are brain-damaged and have disconnected from reality, but surely they're not so addled that can't remember four short years ago.

The economy in my part of the world was pretty damn impressive during Trump's first term despite all of the sabotage that the DemonRats were doing.

  & QFT. Just about every ludicrous Hate-Trump claim hinges on hearers forgetting that Trump was President for 4 years.

19. We were going to do a whole house update but put it off until after the election.

Now, I've whittled my list down to the necessities & will spend a fraction of what we were going to spend. That would have been a nice little chunk of change spent in my community, most of it to a local contractor. Instead, we'll just hang onto it. Oh well.

Unless you're one of those rich Dim "haves" that they love so much, you're full of shit. As someone who is actually remodeling a house, I had to slow down after the election of Biden. A repower went from 12,500 from a local electrician to 23,000 in 8 fkn months. My repipe was 12K. I asked the same people who did it what it would cost now. 18K. Everything has skyrocketed. Keep fkn lying, DUmbass. I cannot WAIT for someone who actually knows economics to get back in power.

They may have forgotten the pandemic when they pulled the voting lever

I think they remembered the pandemic, when their constitutional rights were trampled, being forced to take a vaccine that they didn’t want, making some lose their jobs.
Shutting down churches and small businesses as well as schools.

They didn’t forget, not for a moment.

Yeah, back when "My body, my choice" didn't matter even though in this case it really was the speaker's actual body instead of a completely different body. And back when gathering for worshiping God in church was dangerous but gathering together to loot and destroy property in honor of a drug addicted was "safe".

Oh, I remember Covid, better than many DU-Denizens.

* I remember China concealing Covid from the world, delaying letting the world know the DNA info of the virus, and telling the world, with the help of WHO, that they had no evidence of human-to-human transmission. Here's a chronology of China's deception, lies, and deceit:

* I remember how it was Democrats and their "public health" bureaucrats who for 2-3 months minimized Covid and branded Trump an alarmist, a racist, and a xenophobe for his swift and decisive response:

* I remember that, contrary to the Dems' and their MSM-shills' lies, the Trump Administration responded to Covid swiftly and decisively. Here are pertinent news story links from January and February 2020:

It is bleeping pathetic that DU-Denizens still do not know and/or acknowledge that Trump's response in early 2020, immediately after he learned Covid existed, was far better than the information he had available to him at the time. When Trump got Covid in October 2020, two of the medications he received that shortened his case and may have saved his life had been tested and approved or authorized for emergency use had been tested due to his Administration's swift response (specifically, remdesivir and Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment).

Viruses and the like fall under the auspices of PLAGUE. Biden, Kackle-hoe and their minions are servants of PESTILENCE, like any other common vermin.

Get your Horsemen of the Apocalypse right, my friend...

Let's appropriately park this here:

More Hilariousness From the Left: 'We Will Not Buy Anything for Four Years' to Tank Trump Economy

When you think about it, Republicans have really gotten a twofer from the 2024 presidential election. We can celebrate the victory of Donald Trump and Republicans taking both the House and the Senate. And as an added bonus because of that, we also get the sheer entertainment of watching the left melt down like popsicles in July. While all of the leftist panic about how Trump is going to take away women's rights and use the military to get back at political enemies is thoroughly enjoyable, now, they think they have another way they can stick it to Trump.

Their latest Wile E. Coyote-like caper, they will not buy anything for the next four years. Wait what? Yep, that's right. Leftists, in their infinite wisdom, have decided they can ruin the Trump economy by just not participating in it. What a "strategy." Why aren't these people at the Pentagon? In just a sample of some of this brilliance, one non-participant in the upcoming Trump economy said this on X:

Trump will not have a good economy because we don’t have to let him. I myself plan on paying my bills and saving every penny beyond that. I will not contribute to this economy in any other way.

I will buy some clothes before he takes office and make sure I have everything I need for the next four years.

I will not be eating out unless it is an emergency that cannot be avoided. I have already cut my cable long ago, but I will not support mainstream media on any app. No cable news of any kind.

I will not go to the movies, sporting events, or any local attractions. New furniture or household goods will wait until 2028. I’m going to install a few other search bars and avoid Google as much as possible. I will not buy a new car before 2028. I will do everything in my power to hold on to as many dollars as possible.

I do not care about the consequences of a poor economy. If they want to put us through some things then I will deny corporations my money and if we all do the same we can put them through some things at the same time.

There are many ways we can fight back, but holding our money is the biggest way to fight back.

Part of being in the resistance is to resist everything you disagree with. I will resist this administration in every way possible. Make this your last expensive Xmas for the next four years. Hold on to every dollar. Buy based on need and not want.

After such a long time, I get to break out this old classic.

Only problem with this, is that leftist scum are universally predisposed to steal/loot/pillage in order to "stick it to the man", and thus do not have to BUY a damned thing to get thru the next four years in style (in their sick little minds, anyway).

If we get really lucky they will refuse to purchase internet access and refuse to use internet access funded by other people's money.

That shouldn't and couldn't ever happen.
First, DUmmies have no real life friends. they are absolutely dependent on sites like stormfront.. I mean, DU for human interaction. No one else can tolerate their presence or delusional view of life.
Secondly, sane people would lose out on some of the best comedy that the internet has to offer. It would be a real tragedy if I wasn't unable to drink my morning coffee while reading the overnight drunken tirade posts  from the island of misfit toys.
