The people who I work with who support the current administration don't really value a good economy.

They actually are smug about a worsening standard of living. What makes them happy is "tough talk" on immigration, to them the brutality against suspected undocumented immigrants is a good deterrent.

It's not surprising but it's important to understand how important the brutality is and how unimportant economic growth is. It helps that they Silicon Valley tech workers who are already rich.

It took me so long to realize this but it’s completely true. What they want most is for other people to suffer
