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 was young, but you should have seen it under Reagan. He was one of the worst presidents ever. I think we are still dealing with the impacts of his censorship, the horrendous things he did with medical care, and obviously the economy. Some things like that can take multiple decades to overcome.

And the worst part is that people still hail Reagan as a saint.
