    They did the same with Obama. Blamed him for an economy that he inherited from Bush. Then when Trump came around he boasted about how great the economy was… you know, the one he inherited from Obama.

      Every time. Take credit on the way in, cast blame on the way out.

      Why wouldn’t they? Their voters know it’s bullshit but don’t WANT a stable country.

        That’s why it annoys me any time someone suggests friendship and/or centrism with conservatives. They literally don’t care about the truth, even what words mean. There is no “reasonable” discussion to be had; half of their opinions are literally because of belief in the supernatural, and the other half is Dunning-Kruger economics.

          “But studies show the best way to deprogram them is to talk to them” the worst people you interact with regularly online say, ignoring that the studies are talking about in person interactions and that we can’t all be deprogramming all the time. Some of us would just like to exist from time to time.

            I’m curious about these studies. Were they looking at which way works best given a single person and infinite time, or which way works best given finite time and a large group? Was it specific to American conservatives?

            Because if they don’t care what words mean, then I think the better approach is to attack their social status as a group. Shine a light on what they are, make them embarrassed. Let them lose friends. “You can’t reason someone out of a belief they weren’t reasoned into.”

        Their voters have absolutely no idea its bullshit. They literally have no idea what’s going on. If you watch the right wing propaganda for even a day, not a single piece of real information will be presented. It’s just garbage.

          When something significant does happen or come to light, they’ll spend the day discussing something irrelevant and distracting like Hunter Biden.

        It’s quite the opposite in many cases. Their voters have no clue about what is going on in most cases. The only thing they know is what they hear from their politicians on their “news” channels or from memes on Facebook.

      Exact same thing this time around. Covid happened, Trump bumbled it and also Congress gave away 950 billion mainly to people who didn’t need it, Fed lowered interest rates to zero… so Biden inherited rampant inflation and massive home price increases, and according to Conservatives, it’s the ‘Biden economy’. Of course they can never name anything they think Biden did to cause it.

        So what you’re telling me is that if we fuse Obama and Biden, we could solve literally every world problem in the span of one Star Trek episode?

      Its quite literally Obama’s fault 45 looked so good. Obama’s presidency is responsible for starting the largest/longest bull run in the history of the stock market, which 45 ended due to utterly fumbling the pandemic, but can now blame Biden for since he has to deal with all the economic fallout from 45’s term in office. While all 45 had to deal with was a humming economy he still ran into the ground. Not saying what Obama did for the economy was good for the country, just that it was good for what is considered ‘economic health’ by the majority of the US population.

      From a European view, they are all just rich and want to keep people poor. And both your parties are conservative, one just slightly more liberal.

      Are you seriously comparing blaming one of the established worst politicians ever (Reagan) for the very real problems he created with blaming Biden/Obama for inane shit they have no hand on?
