One of the amazing political achievements of Republicans in this election cycle has been their ability, at least so far, to send Donald Trump’s last year in office down the memory hole. Voters are supposed to remember the good economy of January 2020, with its combination of low unemployment and low inflation, while forgetting about the plague year that followed.
Since Trump’s romp in the Super Tuesday primaries, however, the ex-president and his surrogates have begun trying to pull off an even more impressive act of revisionism: portraying his entire presidency — even 2020, that awful first pandemic year — as pure magnificence. On Wednesday, Representative Elise Stefanik, the chair of the House Republican Conference, tried echoing Ronald Reagan: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
And Trump himself, in his Tuesday night victory speech, reflected wistfully on his time in office as one in which “our country was coming together.”
Candidate 2: I’ll also refuse to complete my initial campaign promises unless you promise to vote me and my cronies back in (and even then, who knows), try to install a Ministry of Truth and make you lose your job if you refuse my medical advice, and also wreck the economy and any future ability of your children to buy homes. Oh, and I know most of my supporters want me to stop arming Israel, but lol whoops.
Forgot that part.
Biden is basically an old-school Republican:-). Whereas the GOP has had a wasp (named Trump) lay eggs in its brain and is currently being taken over to become actual neo-Nazis.
If the answer to the question “what is 1 + 1 = ?”, Democrats answer with “negative 2!”, while the GOP say “plugative i”, and the GQP punches you in the face, kills your wife, and fucks your mom, not necessarily in that order.
