There will be inflation and you will love it.
They don’t know a lot of things
ah yes, party like its the most recent '28. with a beer.
which was illegal at the time.
some kind of dog whistle?
Somehow screwworm has returned
The Trump depression is going to make 2008 look like a picnic.
But I’m already very depressed!
2008 was “just” a recession. A depression is much, much worse
In response to 2008 we didn’t actually fix anything, bail outs just postpone the inevitable.
Just harder to get a mortgage, but way easier to get a car loan.
a failure so spectacular, it lead to fdr, the new deal… republicans wouldn’t win the white house back until 1952.
Yeah but the Democrats were competent back then. I don’t have confidence in most of the modern Democrats. There are only like 3 of them who seem to get what’s going on
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.
Don’t forget about the McCarthyism of the late 40s and the 50s. Ronald Reagan was involved with that particular movement since the beginning when he testified in front of Congress (specifically the House Un-American Activities Committee) saying that communists were taking over Hollywood.
that wasn’t ike, though. those nutcases thought he was a commie.
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.
fingers crossed history repeats itself lol
200 million deaths later, in the 1950s… worth it, said the world?
Surely we learned from our mistakes?
I don’t want another world war, or Jim Crow…
You’re working on the former whilst the latter never really went away.
I think we’re already in the middle of both of those.
Beginning, sadly.
well I meant the part about Republicans not getting the house for a long time lol
It’s what Republican’s do best; fuck up the economy.
Conservatives are – and have always been – the enemy of the people.
Knowing what happened in 1929 would require reading and thinking…
*knowing how to and/or being capable of reading and thinking
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.
They should sweep the forests, like they do in sweden
Yeah take us back to the start of the great depression, such awesome rad times in America. Everyone was living high on the hog and business was booming!!!
- Massive amounts of what effectively amounts to gambling on the stock market.
Luckily, we have nothing like that today.
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.
Man, I couldn’t get past “rational” without laughing.
Make depression great again!
Hey, at least this time the republicans aren’t jerking off to nonsense tariffs, right?
That was always the plan, Make America Greatdepression Again.
nO! it’s diFFeREnt thiS Time!
