I can't decide whether it's funny or pathetic that the Republicans keep getting away with the same old games.
1. Do things to fuck up the economy. 2. Pass on an economy that's about to tank to the next president. 3. Blame the next president for the economy they fucked up. 4. Get elected again. Reap the benefits of somebody who knows what they're doing repairing the economy. 5. Take credit for the good economy created by the previous president. 6. Repeat.
🧵1. A HELPFUL RULE OF THUMB I BORROWED FROM A FRIEND… There are people who live in an alternate universe. Filled with alternate facts. And as much as I believe they are deluded… They are equally as convinced that in fact, I am the one who’s deluded. And you know what? …
2. Maybe I am.
So, how can I be confident that my perception is true? It can be quite difficult. Luckily, I found an easy guide… A barometer if you will. In times of political confusion, particularly when emotions are running high and creating tunnel vision, …
3. … the presence of Nazis can be an extremely helpful indicator. If I’m attending a local demonstration or political rally, and I see Nazis… neo-Nazis, casual Nazis, master race Nazis, or confederate flag totin’ Nazis… I figure out what side they’re on. …
4. And if they are on my side of the demonstration… I’m on the wrong side. Look to my right. Is someone standing next to me wearing a 6MWE T-shirt?… I’m on the wrong side.
Look to my left. Is that guy wearing a Camp Auschwitz T-shirt?… I’m on the wrong side. …
5. Are the speakers being applauded for referring to things that Hitler got right?… Yep, wrong side.
Is there a booth set up where one could get a myriad of tattoos depicting swastikas, confederate flags, SS insignia, etc?… I’m on the wrong side. …
6. Some things are relative and politics can absolutely have its opposing sides and gray areas. But Evil and Good are absolutes. So, just look for the Nazis, and make your own decision.
I wish I could award this with "Best Post". You're right on the fucking money with that one. They only care about lining the pockets of the capitalists, while sacrificing the interests of the people. Why don't these fuckheads remember that e. coli lettuce debacle at the start of Trump's term? The one where he deregulated the safety measures to save $12M, but ended up costing $108M. They say they can't rightly blame him for that because he scapegoated the pushback onto whoever, but come on. The party needs to take responsibility, and they don't, because Republicans are narcissistic man-children who can never admit to any wrongdoing. At least the Dems own their shit.
republicans didn't do anything to fuck up the economy... it was humming along quite nicely until the leftists clamored to shut it down. biden's reckless spending is what brought about the highest levels of inflation in decades. dems own it.
