“The lesson of the last couple of days is that it’s generally a good idea to take a step back, take a breath, and take a beat. We’ve had lots of panic, and look, I understand that people are worried about their 401(k)s, I have sympathy for that. But a lot of the panic that we’re seeing is completely manufactured. These are the same people who told us to panic about Covid, who told us to panic that Trump was a threat to democracy, who told us to panic about global warming,” said Federalist Elections Editor Elle Purnell on Newsmax. “So I think the lesson … is that if you’re still listening to those people, you should probably stop.”
