There is a pattern. Republicans were bad in 2008. They are worse in 2020.

Next they’ll be shouting about the “Biden Pandemic”.

But many on the losing end of last week’s election want to hold on to their anger. And there are those in the media -- led by the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity -- only too ready to feed that animus, along with their own ratings.

“The Obama recession is in full swing, ladies and gentlemen,” Limbaugh told his radio audience of 15 million to 20 million on Thursday. “Stocks are dying, which is a precursor of things to come. This is an Obama recession. Might turn into a depression.”

Apparently the tanking of the real estate market, record losses in the auto industry, and massive failures in the banking and investment industry have very little to do with our problems. The economic system is collapsing, Rush wants us to know, because it anticipates the tax increases Obama has pledged on capital gains and for the highest income earners.

Now all their worst instincts have come to fruition. While the rest of us are horrified by their actions. Mf45 is the monster who unleashed their evilest desires.
