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.

My reply to this would be "But don't you think that makes you vulnerable if the party's values change, but you always vote for them anyway? Who benefits from being able to dictate to you what your values are?"
