At least Reagan went through the great depression and understood how bad tariffs are, unlike genius T.

I have seen 3 Republican presidents in my lifetime. All 3 destroyed the economy. When will we learn?

When will we learn?

Never, so long as their voters are delusional enough to believe the RNC is god’s chosen party on Earth.

I grew up Mormon and GTFO of that cult at 18, but I saw enough from my parents and extended family to know they’ll always vote straight-ticket Republican because they’ve bought into the Republican “family values, God, Bible” bullshit for so long that the party will always have the delusional Christian vote.

I can just imagine their contempt if Obama had like 15 kids from 6 different women while skipping out on child support. Or was hawking overpriced made-in-china bibles with his name on the cover while paying off porn stars. You know, "family values". They wouldn't have anything if they didn't have hypocrisy and double standards.
