Unemployment has gone from 6.4% to 3.5% since Trump left (forced to leave) office.

Those two posts would be "Fake news" according to Trump and MAGAts.

Along with 2020 election results of course.

That's because the MAGA's are just a pack of liars. Every damn one of them.

Federal Deficit SPENDING decreased from Trump COVID years.
Current administration spent $1.4 Trillion more than income. Not exactly something to be proud of.
Fourth highest deficit spending in US history and basically tied with Obama in 2009.

Federal debt still continues to be increased. I have an issue with my grandkids paying for current spending practices.
Will either party EVER balance a budget?
Right now I don’t care which one.

No neither party will. Why people continue voting for a 2 party system is beyond me.

That both sidesism is such a cop out. The MAGA-GOP group insincerely cut taxes pre-COVID with no spending offsets, claiming ONCE AGAIN, that it’d “trickle down”.

The ridicule for anyone who opposed that bill of goods style of thinking was palpable.

Now you all get righteous and spin because Biden didn’t reduce deficit spending enough for your tastes.

You say you worry for your grandkids?! How do you feel about a future where they live under authoritarian rule?! FASCIST STYLE?

There’s a word for that, you know those people that do one thing but say to do anther?

They claim to be worried about their grandkids but are leaving them a world ripe for serious climatic changes because they've refused to do anything about it. And, they will be in serious debt because they want tax cuts for the rich (or no enforcement at all so they don't have to pay any taxes).

They're also fine with children being gunned down in schools because they don't want to be inconvenienced in any way when it comes to getting a gun. They vote for politicians taking money from organizations that want to get rid of the bump stock ban so essentially people can have machine guns. Did they forget about the shooter in Vegas or are they just that unconcerned about people's right to, you know, be alive?

Also, the kids will be lucky to not have to grow up in a theocracy.

When they're questioning the basic principal of a democracy, that our elections aren't to be trusted, free and fair, you know their goal is at the very least a Christeofascist State. We're damn close to it now with our SCOTUS.

Ouch. That about covers it. The whole "what about the children" thing has always been BS from the far right. Yeah, they're SO concerned about children except when they're growing up in poverty, or being molested by priests, or getting shot at school, or going hungry, or being sent off to war, or getting their school's budget slashed, or getting bullied because of their sexual preference or gender identity, or having religion forced down their throat, etc etc etc....other than that, it's all about the children!

Even IF "Brandon" was at least partially responsible for the higher food/gas prices (which he's not), I'd still opt for that over a gaggle of hard-right election deniers and conspiracy theorists running amok.

Those prices will eventually come down like they've always done in the past, gas has already been declining since July. But giving the MAGA Party more levers of government will have much longer-lasting damage.

Kari Lake, Doug Mastriano, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a lot of those CPAC speakers... they would've fit right in with the Third Reich. That's not hyperbole or exaggeration.

Not. One. Bit.

What's even more scary are their backers, as we've discussed before. It's gotten really charged. The parallels between Germany in the 30's and now are just unnerving.

Just the fact that CPAC saw fit to have a conference in Hungary with Viktor Orban of all people, as a guest speaker tells you just how far off the rails they've gone. They might as well have invited Putin. The EU is basically saying Hungary is no longer a democracy. The courts are no longer independent and neither is the press. The corruption is as bad as anywhere.

Yep, very scary.
