Have Bush and Reagan always been in this picture and I just missed it? Or is this just a brilliant Photoshop?

And everyone will hate the Democrats despite them having no ability to change it because people keep electing us! Our propaganda is so good even socialist communists peddle it!

Don’t get me wrong, sticking to decorum and mostly electing your base from Ivy League colleges so that already wealthy people can enrich themselves further while only pandering to a single minority group since they have the expendable income to support the party was not a good look for Democrats. Even if they aren’t actually to blame for the mess that the United States is very much in.

Expand on your “thoughts” about “electing the base from the Ivy League” and pandering to a “single minority group with expendable income”

30 members of the Senate are from 7 colleges. I mean come on. A surprising number of them probably took the same econ classes.

And I mean socially liberal but fiscally conservative Democrats who pander who is their best paying fundraiser group. Generally LGBTQ members, but occasionally others depending on local demographics.

One thing I wonder is how different would the economic effects of “goverment handouts” be vs massive tax cuts to working class, seems like it wouldn’t be terribly far off as far as “printing money” go

Think of all the money we’ll save on taxes when we win the lottery. That’s certainly worth destroying the Pax Americana built on New Deal policies and principles.
