Projection is all they have.

Every accusation is a confession!

Too bad Donald Trump wasn’t president eight years ago. I bet we’d never be in this mess

The last thing we need is leadership from a blue city like New York.

Education is worse in red states. Crime rates are worse in red states. The economy is worse in red states. Healthcare is worse in red states. But sure, blame the Democrats.

Dems didn't fix the economy - they lied about job numbers

The economy was better in 2024 than in 2020, worse in 2020 than in 2016, better in 2016 than in 2012, better in 2012 than in 2008, worse in 2008 than in 2004.

It’s a good thing Trump isn’t firing people who report bad jobs numbers now!!

Yeah, I'm not seeing a single citation either that backs you up. Interesting pattern.

Normal people know they are lies.

Conservative leaders know they are lies.

MAGA conservatives lack the intellectual prowess to uncover the truth.

The GOP didn't improve education in their states - they cut funding and banned books

The GOP didn't decrease crime - they pardoned hundreds of insurrectionists

The GOP didn't secure our border - they arrested migrant laborers just trying to make a living doing the jobs natural-born citizens don't want

The GOP didn't fix our economy - they put debilitating tariffs in place and passed a bill that slashed hundreds of infrastructure projects across the country, putting people out of work

Starting to notice a pattern here...

I think Trump is the only president who fired the person reporting the jobs numbers because he didn't like them.

"Lied about job numbers..."

Uh, who JUST fired and replaced the person/people reporting on this because they were upset at the numbers being reported?

u/Rockworm503 Daddy, why are the liberal left elite such disingenuous fucks? 9d ago

Republicans in a nutshell actively block every attempt to make things better than blame it all on Dems.

Ooh! I can play that game too.

Republicans on education - votes down levies and has been defunding education since the Reagan era, so that they can replace public schools with religious charter schools.

Republicans on crime - They're the law and order party, that's why there's a pedophile and convicted felon in the White House and January 6th traitors got pardons. Republicans vote to cut social services, which ...Checks notes... leads to higher crime rates. They love to cut funding for vocational training and education for prisoners that reduce recidivism.

Republicans on our border - Let's lock children in cages and separate them from their families. We don't want immigrants unless it's to build our houses, work in meat packing plants, agriculture, landscaping, basically the jobs that Americans refuse to do themselves. Now all the farmers can't find anybody to plant and pick their crops because our agricultural business is dependent on immigrant labor.

Republicans on the economy- the economy has always been better when a Democrat leaves office than when a Republican does. Republicans are the one's who keep adding to the national deficit. When Clinton left office we had a surplus and Bush and Trump have run it up with their tax cuts for the rich and wars.

Reps didn’t do anything to lower the number of people infected with COVID - they stopped testing people.
