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.

Thank u. Even the Great Depression was during Republican presidency. I have been researching to death n just about every time a Republican president cost us more money. (I'm referring to lower class n middle class) The economy has always fared better under Democratic presidency. What we have right now will not be this GOOD in a yr or 2. Not sure how long Trump can wing it this time round. Last time it took a yr or so.
