After WWII everything boomed. What if we have been in a economic bubble that started 50-70 years ago.

    yeah there was a kind of oh this is just a thing and we will get back to normal. While the slow velocity was kinda fall we could climb back up and that was kinda true if you looked at reagan clinton. One thing though was bush sr. was still a saner old school type republican and actually did not do more damage and kinda started a recovery that made it easy for clinton. Increasingly we can’t right the ship so easily. Its like if we get through this we might plug the holes but the ship will still be filled with water and republicans will of course blame it on the administration that plugged their holes.

      Right-wingers have massive pockets of dumbass voters who don’t have any real perspective on facts & reality, and just ‘do what everyone else around them is doing.’ You can hear people in Southern States sometimes talk about this online. Similar groups routinely fall for ragebait, and therefore insulate themselves from facts & reality in that way, too. The hope obviously is that the Orange regime and swing states haven’t totally gamed the electoral process for this coming election. Otherwise the USA is lost IMO.
