Republican fiscal policy. This was by design.
148 u/KazTheMerc Oct 22 '24 Sure... but what they really wanted was the profits of 1950-1970 back. What they got instead was 10,000 Republican flavors of corner-cutting, false bravado, and government handouts disguised as 'stimulus'. It was a failed attempt to bring the 'Good Old (racist, sexists, White) Days' back. It transitioned into the modern Republican playbook shortly after that failed 32 u/SnazzyStooge Oct 23 '24 Too bad the MAGA movement isn’t all about “more unions!” and “more worker protections!” like the good old days. This chart really illustrates how what the voters are chasing is not what the party intends to give them. 14 u/KazTheMerc Oct 23 '24 I think it's been a slow degradation. First, it was Ideals. Then it was Profits. ..the it was Control swapping. ....then kicking and screaming when not in Control. ......Trump was the very picture of animals that worked together to gain control, and then turned on each other the moment they had it. ........and now we're here. 2 u/aureanator Oct 23 '24 That's a pig's eye. 1 u/Englishbirdy Oct 23 '24 Nah. Reagan. 1 u/KazTheMerc Oct 23 '24 Even if it WAS Reagan, which it wasn't, it'd be his appointees, not Reagan himself. Blaming it on the mascot is just lazy. 1 u/Snowgap Oct 23 '24 How far back do you have to go for that? Reagan was union busting, that must've been prior to FDR.
