Inflation is out of control. Housing is unaffordable. The healthcare system is broken. Everyone is drowning in student debt. Ecosystems are collapsing. We're constantly on the brink of war.
This is a better description of Trump's presidency than Biden's, especially right now when inflation is not out of control, and Biden has done everything he can to forgive student loans.
That's how it always works. Republicans shit in the bed, but it's only uncovered after a Democrat gets elected. Then they fix everything, only for the next republican to start the process over.
Kind of like how W. Bush ran up all kinds of debt off the books in Iraq and Afghanistan and Obama gets slammed for bringing it front and center:

And that doesn't even take into account the massive Pentagon fraud perpetuated year after year:

It's the Republican tradition.. Bash the solution then blame the problem on the other side.
The real problem is pronouns. We have to get rid of them. Nothing but proper nouns.
“George likes proper nouns in George’s sentences.”
If they want a dick pick. All they have to do is ask.
I won’t judge.
if they did that you'd see them asking 6 year old kids
Too late.
Well, I don’t have that. But if they want to be specific I’ll be happy to refer them to the appropriate department…
If you stop having kids, who the fuck am I going to send to my war??
Just to clarify the point: Republicans only shriek about issues like transgenderism to put the focus on these non-issues, away from real issues like healthcare, poverty and inequality, war, climate change, etc..
If conservatives want to be a part of the solution, they can be. But they aren't.
Newt Gingrich was the last Republican to create policy and even he is problematic.
Gingrich was a dick
Good fucking riddance.
I regret to inform you that he is still alive
Who served his wife divorce papers while she was in a hospital bed recovering from surgery!
And that's not the worst of it!

The only way conservatives can be part of the solution is if they take themselves out of the equation.
Newt may have been the last but that's his own fault. He oversaw the GOP as it shifted from everyday "shitty conservatives" to insurrectionist nationalists.
I just want to make sure I get that off my chest. Newt heavily contributed to starting this. He's the original McConnell. He wrote the playbook.
The older I get the more apt this aphorism becomes:
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
The conservative question: “can I fuck it?”
“If we can’t fuck it, we kill it”
They've missed the entire point. It's about manufacturing outrage to distract from things people should really care about.
Meh. The illusion is starts to fade at the mention of student debt and totally broken with the word "ecosystems". Need to dial up the conservative and make it about how jobs don't pay enough or how much you have to run the AC now days. Also, not sure about the war part being bad in a conservative view, rather it's that we don't really win wars anymore.
When it's a conservative president: We are protecting our country from brown people.
When it's a democratic president: we are wasting funds attacking no-name countries instead of making gas cheaper
