I’m only 20 years old, I’ve never voted or even really bothered paying attention to any other election, and I dunno it kinda feels like I started on one that was really crazy? But I’m not sure maybe every election has been insane and I just didn’t know because I wasn’t paying attention.

    It’s remarkable how effective that strategy has been.

    Reagan/Bush run up the deficit by 300%+ due to tax cuts and massive military spending, foreign wars

    Clinton pays off the deficit, gets the economy booming, scales back military spending and foreign entanglements

    GWB campaigns on a platform of tax cuts and increased military spending, along with denying climate change, barely wins

    deficit skyrockets due to tax cuts, multi trillion dollar wars, lack of financial regulation collapses global economy

    Obama has to save the economy again, extricate us from foreign entanglements again, while fighting against a republican establishment that refuses to pass any legislation

    Trump administration completely fails to deal with COVID pandemic and tanks the economy yet again

    Biden has to clean up that mess, and the resultant inflation is blamed on the Democrats

    How many times are people going to fall for this shit?
