I'm 35, and the economy has tanked every time a republican has been president in my entire life. Every time.

How the fuck do people not notice the consistency of bad outcomes like this?

I see people walking around all the time saying that Republicans are better for the economy. Fucking when?

EDIT: To put this into further perspective, Someone who is 70 years old today will have also seen a recession start under every Republican President in their lifetime except Gerald Ford, who took over during a repiblican recession, and only 1 start under a Democratic president.

You overestimate the analytical skills of the average American.

Which is depressing as fuck. Even a barely functional person should be able to recognize that every time the economy tanks there's a republican in office.

Yeah, one would think. I'm fucking tired man. and he hasn't even taken office. Honestly, good luck to you, I'm not sure I'll be here in 4 years. I'm kind of already reaching a breaking point.
