      1. The storm-clouds of recession are gathering and a few people, notably Bill Maher, are pleased by the prospect, thinking it'll help defeat Trump. That's too narrowly partisan a perspective.

      2. In the short run, economic recessions turf out incumbents, so yes, it's good for the anti-Trump people if the economy tanks. But over the longer haul, downturns, except under special circumstances, generation intolerance and hostility towards progressive policies.

      3. Some thoughts on possible recession and how to push forward with progressive policies in the face of it. https://www.thenation.com/article/trump-recession-bill-maher/ …

          it'll be awesome when there's a recession and Trump maintains his base by convincing them the downturn is a Deep State plot to unseat him (probably caused by "Globalists") and not the consequence of his mercantilist policies

          Disruption and chaos seem major goals of Trump’s backers. Hard to imagine their policy not causing recession and that those monsters are planning to take advantage of the opportunity.

          I guess the one benefit would be the possibility of exploiting the crisis for a transformative set of policies: an opportunity missed by Obama with the 1937-like turn to the “center”

          While rooting for the economy to fail is bad, betting on it isn't a great idea at this point. The US business cycle last peaked almost 12 years ago. That's a record. https://bit.ly/2P2vcS2

          And none seems to understand that people like me who lived through the 15 year recession have much anxiety when we hear the R word.

          Every PoliSci major knows that people vote with their pocketbooks. But timing is everything. This will be moot in 12 months.
