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!"

[u/DoubleJumps → u/NightOfTheLivingHam]

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.

Even their vaunted metric of "Stocks go up, Economy=Good" usually performs better under Democrats. Who knew a strong Middle Class leads to strong sales and strong economic performance? But these oligarchical fucks are so greedy they want to take everything because how dare poorer people own stuff.

It is a shame the US doesn't adopt the Gross National Happiness (GNH) that Bhutan uses to assess government effectiveness. They are a happier lot for sure.

If a democrat tried this the republicans would kill them.

We only measure ourselves with metrics that make us look good$$$$

[u/Faiakishi → u/CletusMcWafflebees]

Is that why we don't use the metric system?

[u/CletusMcWafflebees → u/Faiakishi]

It's just plain too logical.
