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:

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 you stop having kids, who the fuck am I going to send to my war??
Of course those genitals are important! If they don’t do that, then their god will not magically fix said problems. They themselves are of course powerless to do anything about it. Far too busy lining their and their donors pockets!
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.
The older I get the more apt this aphorism becomes:
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
They've missed the entire point. It's about manufacturing outrage to distract from things people should really care about.
