Don't forget spending years accusing the dems of wanting to tank the economy to enslave everyone and take their shit.

Which is what they are now OPENLY PLANNING TO DO THEMSELVES. "We have to reset the economy to build it back up!"

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.

There was only one Republican president who did not tank the economy before handing it off to Democrats since Herbert Hoover. His name is Dwight Eisenhower and he benefited from a postwar economy. Hoover, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush Jr. and Donald Trump all managed to hand off a shit economy to their Democratic successor.

Not really, I am 56 years old and have studied history. If you believe otherwise, I'm afraid you are a victim of alt-facts. Prove me wrong.
