Republicans know most Americans are stupid

Take the raising the National debt issue for example. Biden laid it out perfectly this afternoon that this pays for stuff that was already promised (mostly by trump and the republican congress)…but a lot of people think this has to do with stuff that Biden and the Democrats have done or want to do. And they think since the Democrats are in charge they could easily pass it themselves and will blame them for the default….republicans knew this

Just look at all the dumb comments on this CNN link…I really need to stay off twitter

The American public may be dumb, or not political savvy, but the gqp is dumber. It didn’t work with President Clinton or President Obama and it isn’t going to work this time either

"Biden laid it out perfectly this afternoon that this pays for stuff that was already promised (mostly by trump and the republican congress)"

What not fund stuff that Biden wants instead?

Trump already put it on our credit card….our credit card is almost maxed out and we also owe a minimum payment for everything that we bought on it, so we are trying to up our limit.

10. So we can't make the minimum payment, so we want to borrow the money for that.

Why else would turtle be threatening President Biden to pass the debt ceiling with no gqp help?!
It worked so well when they tried it against President Clinton and President Obama
