Paul Krugman Predicts How GOP 'Fanatics' Will Make People Feel In 2023

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Paul Krugman delivered a damning critique of the current GOP in his latest column for The New York Times, suggesting the party’s unhinged lurch will lead people to “spend much of 2023 feeling nostalgic for the good old days of greed and cynicism” in U.S. politics.

Krugman, who was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 2008, said culture wars waged by Republicans are “no longer just posturing by politicians mainly interested in cutting taxes on the rich” because “many elected Republicans are now genuine fanatics.”

And the GOP’s control of the House “means that the inmates will be running half the asylum,” he added.

If Rep. Kevin Mccarthy (R-Calif.) wins enough votes to become House speaker, then “actual power will obviously rest in the hands of people like Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Krugman warned.
