Of course it is, you frickin nimrods, because that is how you always frame it!.
I have spent my entire adult life, from Nixon to Biden, watching Retrumplican administration, after Retrumplican administration, after Retrumplican administration, absolutely and repeatedly destroy the American economy and the American Middle Class.
I have also watched Democratic administration, after Democratic administration, after Democratic administration, work their asses off to fix the complete shitshow that's been left to them.
In every single case I have watched the press pivot, usually within a month of taking office, to how the "Democrats haven't done enough" to fix the wreckage previous Retrumplican administrations have wrought.
Just today, MSNBC had someone from CNBC on to actually claim; "well, we need to raise the debt limit, but we also need to negotiate a budget by September, so it almost makes sense to combine them both.
What utter horseshit!
That's like me saying; "I need to negotiate with my neighbor about trimming his hedge that is on my property, and also burn down his house, so it makes sense to combine them both"
In the past 40 years, Retrumplican Presidents have run up more national debt than every other President combined in the first 189 years of our country
You still describe the Retrumplican Party as "fiscally conservative"
The last Retrumplican Presidents kissed Vladimir Putin's ass, and tired to violently overthrow our country.
You still describe the Retrumplican Party as "strong on defense".
Three of the last 4 Retrumplican Presidents have been divorced. At least one is an admitted non-consensual abuser of women and girls, and the rest have implemented economic policies to make life harder for middle class and poor families, ripped infants from their mothers arms, and did nothing but make it easier for 5 and 6 year old kids to be slaughtered in their classrooms.
You still describe the Retrumplican Party as the party of "Family Values"
Is it because you fear being labeled as liberal?
It surely can't be that you fear being labeled the "enemy of the people", because that ship had sailed.
Is it because it makes you money? Because, if so, you had better start wondering how much money you can make in the dystopian shithole you are helping Retrumplicans create.
At least you have taught me one thing. I always used to wonder how a battered spouse could stay with their abuser, or why you will sometimes see a dog eat its own vomit?
Watching you kiss the ass of Retrumplican Party answers these questions clearly.

Trump
W Bush

Only Trump and Reagan were divorced. Unless you're counting Trump's two divorces.
Democratic presidents who have been divorced: NONE.

Congress losses.

(59,524 posts)Worse loss. Their cuts to almost everything on Biden's agenda cut things popular enough to have passed a narrowly divided Congress. Giving those things, which are popular, up is a terrible idea.
