My right-wing coworker: Why is it we have record inflation whenever a Democrat is in office?
Me: Because the Republican they replaced left things an absolute fucking mess.

And this also applies the other way around. Why does the first year or 2 of a republican look ok? Because they were handed the country in a state that we were moving in the right direction due to the 4 previous years of decent decision making before blowing it all up again.
Lets be real here, Obama did not fix the economy, he gave 443.5 billion directly to the 1 percent and started the cycle of corporate welfare that has lead to where we are today.
Also, Clinton "balanced the budget" by gutting welfare programs at the behest of a Republican Congress. Between that and his telecom deregulation, he was a massive piece of shit and hugely responsible for the dumpster fire hellworld we're all stuck in now.
Okay, but fuck Bill Clinton. He signed DOMA into law and signed a bunch of crime bills that made things way worse for poor, minorities, and convicts.
Yeah, but he's so charming.
Look, he can make a cigar disappear and reappear! Amazing!
And he plays saxophone.
I never understood how he could play 🎷 since we know he doesn't inhale
He was the best Republican we've had since Ike.
It is weird how he gets hated by the right for being too soft on crime and by the left by not being soft enough.
Because it is not a question of being "soft" on crime. The way that the system is setup right now, someone with money (see Trump), can stall and weasel out of many crimes because he can pay for the best lawyers.
Poor people are already poor to start with, and the system is built to make their life even worst. They get fucked over and over while the rich do whatever the fuck they want with no consequence.
The only time a rich person get what's coming for them is when they fuck over other rich people.
