Same energy as a 13 year old girl posting on her Tumblr.
It's correct but I wouldn't be caught dead spreading it. I'd rather show the way that basically every bit of progress the US made until Reagan stopped with him. Wages and productivity rose in lockstep... Until Reagan. Charts & figures > sHE beLIEveD
good thing you weren't then lmfao
I on the other hand wouldn't be caught dead using US "progress" as an example of anything other than the evils of colonialism and capitalism, or allowing anyone to think I thought all the shit we're dealing with started with Reagan, because that would show just how wilfully ignorant I am.
But hey, you do you. 😂
