Clinton didn’t “end welfare”. He replaced one program with another.
MAGA would have happened either way.

This was the programme Bush wrote, right? It seems to be as bogus a statement as "Biden bungled the Afghanistan pull-out."

I mean..... He did popularize third way politics in America, which has paved the way for fascism in America. That being said, it's hilarious that a publication like foreign policy would attempt to blame it on changes to how welfare works without actually alluding to why.

All of our political discourse today can be traced back to Bill Fucking Clinton.

Go back further. Regan is to blame for a ton of our woes, and the Clinton's just made it worse. While Bush and Obama kept up the status quo while keeping us constantly at war.
