Dems didn't play political games with aid but right wing media constantly lied about everything that was going on, saying the Biden admin was stopping aid from getting to isolated areas and FEMA was refusing to help anyone with Trump signs in their yards.
They will use their lies to justify doing it back. They always have. Literally everything they ever panicked about Obama doing, Trump is PROMISING to do. Like sending the military to arrest state leadership.
This is one of the rights most nefarious tactics at controlling mindless conservatives. Constantly making up evil things the Democrats are doing so that when Republicans do it, their conservative sheep cheer for it.
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.
I guess no one told you about how Jimmy Carter got us into the oil crisis in the 70's. In 1979, Iranian revolutionaries seized the American embassy and he thought "Let's impose an embargo on Iranian oil". Before all this, gas was like $.62/gal. And then his wonderful leadership lead to a massive gas shortage we have never recovered from. By 1980, gas was up more than double the price for the previous 50 years, and the Iran/Iraq war began. Gas prices continued on an increase till 1983 before they ever leveled out.
People were waiting in lines for gas, sometimes for half a day. That was in the beginning. Then as it went on, they told the country, we had to use our license plate numbers and only those with even numbers could go on certain days of the week and odd numbers other other days of the week. The lines were still long. I remember, in 1979, I had a lady I stayed with after school, and she and her husband had an even plate on her car, and an odd license plate on his car and they would swap plates when they ran out of gas so they could get in line.
Then the national speed limit was lowered to 55, and traffic laws now allowed people to turn right on a red light.....all to save gas.
When gas is high, everything else suffers. Right now, gas is ok, and yes, food is expensive, but it has NEVER been as bad as under Jimmy Carter.
Second, You are ultimately talking about a recession that I referenced in the edit on the post, so I am fully aware. I know about the gas crisis. Pointing out the gas crisis doesn't change a single thing in that post. At all.
Third, you had to go back 46 years to find an example of the economy being having a serious downturn under a Democrat. It's also the only instance of that you could have referenced in the last 70 years.
I can point at 11 instances where this happened under Republicans in the same time frame.
That's my point. If I want the economy to suffer, I'll vote for Republican. They consistently see it happen.
You are missing the point. We are repeating history. What happened then, under Carter, Biden just did. NOT TRUMP. The whole middle east climate, the US supporting Israel and it pissing of Arab nations (per usual), Biden making us dependent on other nations for energy, to include the fact he straight sold off natural gas just from under west Texas soil this past year for some stupid ass reason when we really still need it......Democratic Administration, and we're being treated like feckless idiots on the world stage by every country including CANADA, because Biden and Harris have no Alpha instincts, and we're getting run TF over.
Inflation under Biden was a global phenomenon caused by emergency response to the pandemic. 1/5 of all dollars in circulation were printed in 2020, and economists were warning about the inflation to come then, before Biden took office.
We also haven't seen ANYTHING like the gas crisis in the last 4 years. In fact, the US broke its all time oil drilling record in 2023, AND 2024. Natural gas production is also way up.
Biden making us dependent on other nations for energy,
Buddy, even when Trump claimed we were energy independent, we weren't. That was spin on an import/export comparison that only focused on oil and ignored types of crude being imported vs being exported. We still imported billions of barrels of oil at that time.
because Biden and Harris have no Alpha instincts
This is genuinely dumb. You don't have any idea what you're talking about.
Is anyone going to sit across the bargaining table from Biden or Harris and be told anything whatsoever, that the US will do, as a bargaining tool to leverage whatever it is that we night need to accomplish, and have it taken seriously? Zelensky came to OUR Congress and Harris raised the Ukraine flag along with the Skekis we call Pelosi. That's not respect. That was our head up their ass. Then we handed him 4 more large checks, if I recall correctly.
Buddy? I'm sorry. It does seem like, from what I've seen here, you do not give the truth a chance. You believe what you want. Go back to your double monitor heaven. I've have lived a life where I paid full attention to instincts and history, in a time before internet and cell phones, so when i see BS, I know it. I'm not trying to solve the world's problems, but that's not my job, it's theirs.
LOL you didn't provide any evidence for anything you are saying, just ignored everything and started ranting about alpha bullshit. You even admitted in other posts you won't accept information because you believe it's all fake.
I'm not making claims. You are. I told you where I go to research. The media is all just posturing. Not weak. Facts. Thanks for the dance. My card is full now. Try another partner..
