Donald Trump is the perfect Republican
A party built on lies has found a liar to lead them
Lucian K. Truscott IV
It’s hard to put your finger on the foundational lie of the modern Republican Party, there are so many contenders. But I would date it back to Ronald Reagan and the lie of supply side economics. Remember that whopper? Even George Bush the First called it “voodoo economics” before he embraced it. The idea that lowering taxes would raise revenue was as close to a perfect Republican lie as there ever was. It simultaneously lined the pockets of the wealthy, “starved the beast” of government (in the immortal words of Grover Norquist), and laid the groundwork to attack the so-called “entitlements” of Social Security and Medicare as the culprits when the deficit inevitably blew up. That the arguments for lowering taxes were spurious if not entirely fact free was just icing on the cake.

impact on today's nation.
This is why I continue to say, Reagan was a lousy president and yet this nation is still erecting monuments with his name on it. This nation just loves to follow celebrities instead of truth, fact and logic.
That's why we had Obama - oh wait, he wasn't a celebrity errrr Trump is, he's another celebrity this nation voted for and he's also fucking up this nation in a big way.
