Will 2026 finally be the year when a critical mass of Americans wakes up and realizes that Republicans always screw up the economy?
Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.
For the third straight time, a Democratic president handed a Republican president an economy that was at the least pretty good, and at most (Bill Clinton) really humming along very nicely. And, for the third straight time, the Republican has made things worse. Which also means that Democratic presidents have to clean up messes left by their GOP predecessors.
That is a good point. There’s a lot of overt cruelty which seems to Literally exist to “own the libs”, as Onion-y as it sounds. It’s quite disgusting considering the party pretty much owns everything at the moment.
Schoolyard charades, but with higher stakes and real, human victims, at scale.
