It's been the same song and dance for a long time. The GOP blows up the economy, the Democrats come in and clean it up, the GOP screams about how bad the Democrats are with the economy, and the cycle repeats.
We live in a stupid country.

@tindrummer I don't know. 40 percent don't even vote in Presidential elections. And it's far less for midterms and local. I'd say that, collectively, that's pretty stupid. And that's not even touching the 'patriots' who've been systematically trained to vote against their personal best interests. "We" just don't get it.
@Ynotisay It amazes me that people of a certain age have not figured this out yet. I guess they are too attached to their ideology?

@whippersnapper I think you're right. The manipulation that's coincided with digital and social media has turned it all upside down. As a society we're not discerning. Too many take what they're fed, often by algorithms, and as long as it appease their feelings it's all over. I don't know how we break from from it. Not good.
