@Walter Hinteler,
I think concerns regarding deaths that come about due to a long-running depression aren't empty concerns - particularly in the US where the social safety net is so porous and merciless. But America's unique situation in that respect is almost entirely a consequence of conservative ideology - 'the powerful and wealthy deserve their position and everyone else is just a loser who equally deserve their position'. Their rabid need to kill the ACA is clear evidence of that.
What these people like Navarro seem to be
really concerned about is major social and economic shifts that will threaten the grip on wealth/power of those now at the top. They're fine with pitchforks coming out if it's some citizens going after other citizens (eg white supremacists versus people of color) but they sure don't want citizens coalescing and targeting the 1% or the .01%
