Anyone with reasonable self-awareness remembers just how fucked this country was 4 years ago.

You know there is an alternate reality when over half the country thinks this multi-level loser is better at handling the economy, especially given some of the shit that has come out of his mouth in the last few weeks.

That we even have these conversations is a stark example as to how effective the GOP war on education has been.
