    Dude the cognitive dissonance necessary to hold that point of view is insane. Like … FDR’s policies were squarely pegged to government spending to boost the economy - you can’t say that higher taxation for the ultra wealthy paired with government spending kept the depression going longer then turn around and say the exact same thing got the economy going again.

    It’s maddening to me how folks can even think like that. What kind of brain must one possess to believe these sorts of lies?

      Hilary Clinton was both a senile old woman who didn’t understand how to send an email AND a criminal mastermind who’d killed dozens without ever leaving a clue.

      Obama was a lazy do-nothing AND tirelessly undermining the American way.

      Immigrants are stealing our jobs AND getting welfare.

          I literally believe that living through the Trump years has made me stupider, just because I’ve had to listen to so much nonsense.
