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.

Same! I was born in 1980 and was a kid during the “everyone who disagrees with me is a godless commie” Benson era. The church took a hard right and never recovered. For goodness SAKES, we were taught that there were literal, actual DEMONS on the left who were “trying to lead us astray”. Of course, Kimball, Packer, and others were awful, too.

I had my name removed from that church 14 years ago.
