Sadly, you underestimate the power of stupidity. GOP brought us here twice already. We had a second chance to decide “not this time.” But here we are.

I dunno, almost no one alive today has experienced an economic depression. I don't think it will be so forgettable. Republicans were in power for 3 presidencies for 8 years before the Great Depression started (Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover). Then FDR (D) was president for 12 years fixing that shit.

Recession not depression (a depression is far worse, but hey, here we go! 🎢)
