    a failure so spectacular, it lead to fdr, the new deal… republicans wouldn’t win the white house back until 1952.

      And only 6 years after they finally got the Whitehouse again, they started plotting for the next massive fuck up era by founding the John Birch Society (which is a major cause for the GOP’s current psychosis.

          Yeah, I agree. As conservatives go Ike was pretty reasonable.

          My point was that almost as soon as the party got the Whitehouse again, influential portions of it started to plot for the next Great Depression like catastrophy.

          As an ideological movement, they’ve proved many times that they cannot be trusted with power.

            The rich people made a lot of money from the last Great Depression, I bet that’s what they’re hoping for again.

    In their view the Great Depression was probably started by a bunch of lazy woke activists who didn’t want to work, thus spurring the dust bowl with their uh, inaction. Dust everywhere. No one dusting.

        We have an extremely stable, rational market where share prices are based solely on tangible business value and not at all artificially inflated due to completely unrealistic goals and investor greed.

        …I’m sorry. I can’t even type this with a straight face.
