My dad (not even American, but he would 100% be Republican if he were) will randomly bring up Obama and Biden and blame them for the economy, and even blame them for what's happening in Iran. He claims that Trump had no choice but to attack Iran because of what Obama and Biden did to the economy 🤦🏻♀️
My father has multiple degrees and a professional designation, but he is living proof going to school doesn't make you smart.
Honestly I put an asterisk next to the degrees of old white men. They're so frequently the recipient of handouts that you can't trust them to be qualified.
That is, without a hint of irony, exactly what the Tories have done in the UK and what the Republicans will do to the U.S.: They create such budget deficits during their own terms in office and enter into long-term commitments that benefit the super-rich that subsequent progressive governments have their hands tied when it comes to fiscal policy. Since these governments feel bound by rules out of fear of the conservative mob, they can effectively be rendered incapable of acting, thereby directly laying the groundwork for the next election victories.
Will do? Republicans are several decades into this plan. Bush inherited a budget surplus, started two wars and gave away billions in bailouts after the economy crashed, then Republicans turned around and bitched non-stop about the deficit when Obama took over, just so no policies that actually help the people can get passed without raising taxes.
You are viewing this from the perspective of a single interaction, I'm speaking more to welker as a whole (see others comments with similar sentiments). And get off your self righteous soapbox, she's not risking her life to get clean water to kids in Africa, she's being paid millions a year to profit from providing a softball landing pad for fascists and laundering their atrocities to help white grandmas in Ohio stay "undecided" after the administration shoots an american mother of three in the face in broad daylight and calls her a "fucking bitch" as she bleeds out and trump brown shirts deny medical personnel access to their dying victim.
Not to be impolite, but fuck your decorum. I invite you to wake up to the reality we are in. We're not about to have a pleasant US midterm election to "right the ship" this is the moment they can't avoid anymore. A few months left to start thinking about this seriously.
What decorum? What I said is based on this post, nothing more.
Are you alright?
I really do hope the USA finds it's way back to some sort of normal level of quasi-democratic oligarchy. I mean better would be better, but just back to pre-Trump1.0-levels would be OK.
No. Anyone with their head not buried in their own ass in the USA right now is not alright. We haven't been alright for a while now, and there's a good chance that we're gonna have it even worse in the near future.
Some of us cope with fatalism. Some of us cope with humor. Snapz copes with anger, it seems.

Republicans unironically do this with the national debt.

When a Republican is president, policy is slow and it takes a long time to undo the Democrat president policy.
When a Democrat is president, policy is fast and any immediate good things are a result of the Republican president.

They don’t care. Well specifically Trump doesn’t care. He already has the Presidency and is making bank off of it.
Republicans enabled his shit for years, they and the American people are the ones who are going to pay.
