I know there is a paywall to read the whole article, but the headline says it all.

I always thought The Economist was center/right.

Not really.

The Economist people like making large amounts of money and paying as few taxes as possible personally. Some people think this makes them to the right. That this is also the way a bunch of left wing billionaires live their lives does not seem to sink in.

They are for high taxes, for you. They are for paying as little as possible and even will break the law to do it because those things are for little people.

They are the WEF without the German accent.

And while they are making as much money as possible they would like also to squish any upstart that might challenge them in the future like bugs. And also make them eat bugs.

In the 70s to early 80s the Economist was a more friendly publication. It began getting more to the Left while Reagan was in office and very more to the Left ever since.

You thought wrong.

They keep trying to get me to subscribe to that bilge.

A far left relative of mine has read it for years. I therefore consider it left-ish.

The democrat party and its chief are the biggest threat to the world that ever existed.

With the exception of the manufactured lockdowns of the manufactured pandemic, which was manufactured to bring Trump down, I enjoyed Trump’s four years immensely.

Wow! Even more than Climate change that will kill us all?
Even more than Iran or Russia?
Even more than the coming stock market crash?

And even more than international rampant inflation?

I had no idea that Trump was so evil. Still going to vote for him.

and thus upend the world

LOL! Somebody's got the vapors. Constantly telling the world a Trump Victory will mean the end of the world is kinda dopey, since he was President already, and everybody knows the world was a lot better place than it's been since Senile Pedophile in Chief got elected.

The Economist exists to make a profit just like any other publication. I know plenty of lifelong Republicans who can’t stand Trump. They may vote for him over Biden, but they can’t wait until he is either termed out or decides not to run again. It’s entirely possible The Economist is just responding to market demand like any other business.

I really hope Trump does a better job of appealing to independent voters than he did in 2020 and doesn’t just preach some more to the MAGA choir.

My understanding is The Economist is a British rag. The British are wholly untrustworthy as a people and as a government. They have always sought to manipulate the US to do their biding and in times not needed, to undermine the US.

They go where the easy money is. Heaven knows, the left likes spreading it around to buy consent.

The closer we get to the election the more BS they are going to spew. By the time September/October rolls around they’ll be pushing “evidence” Trump is the cloned son of Hitler and a cousin of Satan.

“Donald Trump poses the biggest danger to the world in 2024”

What absolute gall to claim something like that when we currently have an a-hole in office who in only 3 years has us on the brink of WW3
