Morbid Republicans are definitely hoping for something bad to happen to the ever resilient Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but I doubt many Democrats are hoping for a recession. Recessions hurt too many people, including ourselves.
But while Democrats inherit deficits and downturns and reverse them, Republicans cause deficit explosions and economic collapse. Sometimes, when the economy they inherit from the Democratic predecessors is so strong, it takes them more than one term to bring it to ruin.
We are already seeing the indicators of a coming Trump recession, consequent to his mismanagement of international trade and his devastation of the farms and factories that Obama had saved. We see trade markets drying up and international customers finding permanent replacement providers so that those foreign markets will never return. We see an epidemic of farm suicides. The inverted yield curve (where long term bonds are sold at a lower interest rate than short-term bonds, suggesting investor lack of long-term confidence) is rare, but when it occurs, is one of the most reliable predictors of all recent recessions and it is now happened TWICE in recent weeks (each time was short-lived; but the tea leaves are ominous).
So no, with maybe a few unfortunate outliers, Democrats do NOT want a recession, but we do expect one and, if it is going to come, it would be better before the next election so Trump will get the “credit” he deserves for that “accomplishment” (or that accomplicement in sending markets to buy RUSSIAN wheat and soybeans, to enrich Putin (again) at our farmers’ expense.
