GWB had already recapitalized the banks. We didn’t need Obama’s stimulus, but it was politically expedient, and he wanted to steal money from people to give to his union political backers, so he did. Much the same, the lockdowns were over when Biden came to office. We didn’t need stimulus checks. What we needed was for people to go back to work. But instead he injected a bunch of money into the economy which needlessly exacerbated inflation.

Hence it was Biden's socialism which was the sole reason for inflation!"

A ton of people have shifted parties over the last 8 years, more than any time probably since the Civil Rights bill. A lot of the moderates and classic Republicans have shifted to the Dems and a lot of the radical elements of the left and some unaffiliated, normally nonvoters have shifted to the Republicans. Maybe but it seems like the division is getting worse and worse and people are digging in to their 'side' even more now. It's like an Eagles/Cowboys game where you are trying to get the fans to switch the team they root for. Maybe we lost some fans because they hired a convicted felon but we also gained some for the same reason but the die hard fans didn't switch teams. They may have voiced displeasure but still stuck with the team and that is how it seems now. I think half the time it's not about policies but about what 'side' you are on or 'anybody but that guy'.

I think we may find that in one case the VP would be a better choice as president than the actual candidate and the other case the VP is a worse choice than the president.

One thing that we know for sure will help ease divisiveness is electing Donald Trump.

If you think I'm sitting around here complaining about divisiveness at this point, you're not reading my stuff. You're over here pulling out all these fresh takes, like "modern politics is divisive". Welcome to 8 years ago. The rest of us are way past that sheet.

There were sane people in his cabinet that cared about the country. No way that happens again. As it was, last time he still openly talked about running for 3rd term because "his first one shouldn't count".

Quote "We broke into the Capitol, we got inside, we did our part,” Dawn Bancroft said in a selfie video she took after leaving the Capitol on January 6. "We were looking for Nancy to shoot her in the frickin’ brain, but we didn’t find her.” Quote The Jan. 6 select committee has heard testimony indicating that then-President Donald Trump — after rioters who swarmed the Capitol began chanting "hang Mike Pence” — expressed support for hanging his vice president, according to three people familiar with the matter. The White House chief of staff at the time, Mark Meadows, was in the dining room off the Oval Office with Trump at one point during last year’s Capitol attack, the committee has been told. Meadows then left the dining room and informed other people nearby that Trump had signaled a positive view of the prospect of hanging the vice president, the panel heard.
