Okay, so Donald Trump is a dangerous damnable demon from the deepest depths of dark darkness. So if a few eggs are broken in our jihad, well, that's how you make omelets. We get it.
At least, that seems to be the current message.
Recently, I wrote about the Republican or conservative voices pushing the idea that the right conservative position was to vote for Democrats in the 2018 election to "send a message" to Trump. As you may recall, I said: "the motives are pernicious and the outcome horrendous." But if you thought that was the limit, well, you can depend on the Left to beat it.
To wit:

He is, at least, sorry it would hurt lots of people. Oh, probably not anyone he knows, of course: Bill's got a $10 million salary and an estimated net worth of $100 million, so if the economy crashes he's mainly going to be troubled by headlines and tut-tutting among his equally-wealthy friends. So "please bring on the recession." It's just little people in places like Indiana, West Virginia, Michigan, or Wisconsin — who probably voted for Trump anyway — so they deserve it.
Add to the mix Nancy Pelosi recently:

"Hip hip hooray," she says sarcastically, "unemployment is down. What does that mean to me and my life?"...
