ANGUS: The Crack in the MAGA Economy

QUOTE: Trump’s fascist economics is backfiring and the rupture is happening in the American heartland."

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - December 10, 2025

EXCERPT: "When Donald Trump first came to power in 2016, his chief henchman Steve Bannon bragged that the new era would be as “exciting as the 1930s.” That alone should have raised all the necessary alarm bells.

How could anyone long for a return to a decade of intense poverty, economic collapse and fascism? In that same interview, Bannon bragged that “darkness is good.”

We now see darkness descending on the Western world, and it is far from good. But as Leonard Cohen reminds us, there is a crack in everything, and that’s how the light gets in. And there is a serious crack appearing in the gangster fascist regime.

Trump’s attempt to impose 1930s-style economic principles is having a serious impact on the economy and his base. We need to pay attention to this crack. It reminds Canadians that if we hold the line, we can get through this dark time.

The crack is Farmaggedon. . . . ."
