(725 posts)Ronald Reagan became president. the USSR almost went bankrupts and everybody cheered Reagan for firing people and making stupid deals with Saddam. And someone somewhere became a hero for breaking international law, AIDS came around, and President Reagan ignored it for 6 years because.. the gays.
Then GHW Bush, who did nothing at all, but start a war to regain control of mideast oil fields, and find out check-out lines used scanners in grocery stores.
Then a few years of sanity under Clinton who likes to play with young adult women, according to Republican sources. Prosperity and peace happened, but everybody was worried about a blue dress.
Then a total idiot became president, G W Bush, and the world came close to the levels of depravity that Germany and Japan brought us, but this time it all came from DC.
Then some black guy got elected, and Republicans freaked out, and then that black guy got re-elected, and Republicans went nuts.
Then, people decided education was too expensive, and caring for old and sick was too expensive, and screw the roads and bridges and mass transit, and screw unions, too, and don't raise the minimum wage, either. And make sure old white men always control all women's bodies forever.
