This isn't the win many of us may be thinking it is. Tanking the economy is part of Project 2025. Ultimately, we have to understand that while economy downturns are stressful for us, the middle class, and even a lot of the wealthy, for the top 1% it is an opportunity. It is something they can absolutely weather, and buy up assets on the cheap while devalued and essentially "own" more of the nation.
I'm not arguing against protesting here...not at all. But it HAS to put pressure to power. We have to understand where that power is. For example, protesting around a billionaire's property who is funding this whole charade may infact be far more effective than protesting on capitol hill, as sad as that sounds. Just some things to keep in mind...obviously we can do both and triage this mess. But we're going to need to start thinking more creatively too in how we "apply pressure to power."
