Any time the Dow ticks up, regardless of the reason - that's the result of Pumpkinhead's financial genius, ability to make great "deals", and probably because of his 16 inch girthy schlong.

Anything bad - that's Biden. Also probably Obama. And Bill. And Hillary. Maybe even Carter.

Nothing can ever fail because a Republican was in charge or because conservative ideology was in play. If things fail under Republicans, it's because they were RINOs and/or they didn't go hard enough on the conservatism.

It works just like Communism that way.

    Hold up. "Communism doesn't work because republicans do things" is an overlappping belief between communists and republicans, also. Which I would argue is somewhat of an admission of something.

    But yeah its definitely "Republicans can't fail, they can only be failed." Which is a great accountability system.

    I mention the Communism thing because that's almost exactly the same way the Communists tend to talk about Communism. Or tended to.

    My overlap between the two has always been "the reason authoritarianism isn't working is because its not authoritarian enough".

    This is also something capitalism does with 'privatized/corporate authoritarianism'. "The reason the economy isn't working is because the plutocrats are not given enough free reign over society"

    Like at the end of the day there's two groups of thought: "the public is good at decision making" or "the public is bad at decision making" and pretty much everything falls out of that core asumption.
