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.
REAL Christians don’t wish death to anyone, they don’t lie, cheat and deceive, they don’t cage and or jail helpless people, but GOP are the exception to the rule!
From Mother Jones: Having just completed a three-week radiation treatment for a cancerous tumor, the 86-year-old justice made her first public appearance promoting her memoir at the Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, DC, on Saturday.“First, this audience can see I am alive,” she said with a slight laugh, to huge cheers. “And on my way to being very well”. I watched some of this interview and RBG looked and sounded good. I know that character means nothing to Republicons but I believe she would step down if she believed that she could no longer do the job. I wish RBG good health.

Not so much hoping for one as expecting one. Although, we’ll take anything that helps get rid of the Mad Mango.

The Republicans are digging their own grave, though it is a bit bit late for a party that died in 2016.

I understand Moscow Mitch opens each session of the GOP Senate Prayer Group with “Oh Lord, please take Justice Ginsburg”

I’m certainly thinking and praying for RBG’s continued ability to sit the bench. The opposite of morbid, seems to me.
PS: “Morbid” is from Latin morbidus sickly, from morbus illness. Pretty clear to me which party is most involved with that!
