It's the beginning stages of one that will continue to get worse if it isn't stopped (fortunately, I think it is very likely to be stopped)
I'm not so sure, like once the 2027 financial crisis is declared they probably will start lynching us like a sacrifice to the economy gods to bring rain.
The AI industry and the political right will take essentially all of the flak for the coming economic crisis because the Trump regime/MAGA was running all 3 branches of government and the AI industry is increasingly hated by more and more people (and likely to be what triggers the crisis). I think it'd be extremely difficult to redirect that hatred against trans people or any other minority group that the Trump regime has been going after, especially since they've already spent most of their political capital/credibility before the crisis has even properly started.
