Libs of TikTok recently posted videos mocking young women who were shaving their heads to protest the election of Donald Trump. But I wonder if this monkish display of female "self-mutilation" could be the forerunner of a larger "rejectionist" movement.

One might see a significant segment of the left deciding to adopt a "monkish" lifestyle of minimal consumption to protest Trump economics. If enough people reject buying anything except the essentials, the country could face a recession. And given that most people don't understand the difference between correlation and causation, the economic downturn would be labelled the "Trump Recession."

Doubtful, this is just posturing.

There is going to be a "Trump Recession" regardless of what lefties do, because Trump will destroy the economy with his stupid tariffs.
