Are the Democrats an Actual Cult?

Study after study has proven you WRONG.

Also a lie,  if anything the opposite is true.

So numerous thinktanks, intellectuals and historians come to the same conclusion, but you guys are smarter?

The pattern is: Republicans f*ck things up and the Democrats clean up their messes. But you're entitled to whatever kind of delusional rationalizing makes you feel good.

There's no looking at "patterns" from the 1940's required to know that you lied. 

We know you lied because you were caught telling a lie. 

Covid was clearly 100% responsible for the job losses under Trump. There's no debating that... Shutting down businesses to flatten the curve killed jobs, and the correlation is as strong as jumping out of a boat -> landing in water. 

You're trying to pretend that we have to look at who drove the car more over the last 5 years to know who crashed it. "It doesn't matter who was driving it when it hit the wall. It matters who drove it more between 2019 and 2024...."

Thanks Barqy.

Then a left-wing think tank? I certainly am, but that's nothing to brag about. The average gerbil would give them a run for their money.

Having said that actual serious economists have noted what i said many times. And it's pretty easy to verify.  It is extremely well documented for example that Clinton Passed the laws that led to the financial collapse in 2008 with the housing market, and that he tried to undo it but could not because the democrats loved the idea of everyone deserves a house regardless, bush tried to undo it but he could not because the committee that was responsible for it was democrat controlled and they refused and by then it was grown into a problem that was so large that no matter what you did it was going to blow up. And it blew up

This is all verifiable. If you stay away from partisan sources and look at the hard facts it's absolutely undeniable. So the recession experienced in 2008 with the housing crisis crash was a result of policy past by the democrats but which didn't explode until the republicans were in power. And which the democrats prevented the republicans from fixing. So blaming the 2008 collapse on the republicans would be laughable.

We've already gone over your covid example which you should feel embarrassed for having ever put forward. And if you keep going backwards you'll find that generally speaking it's the same story. Democrats create problems, republicans get stuck with them and have to fix them

Trump's crisis right now is actually the first time I can ever recall where it was the republicans which directly created the financial crisis being experienced. If the united states goes into recession it will be on trump and not the democrats. But that is about the first time in forever, and you trying to claim that his first term resulted in job loss while ignoring covid is just dishonest.

Utter bullshit!

No, bullshit is what you wrote about "Trump's economy losing jobs and the massive job growth of Biden's economy".

If a plant is closed down for a few months because of covid, and a new manager takes over in that period of time, does he get to say "I increased the number of jobs here by 120,000% in just 3 weeks! There were only a few security guards working here when I started, now there are hundreds of employees! I'm the cat's ass!"...? Because that's exactly what you're doing.

By your logic Trump can say that he's a better president than Roosevelt because so many thousands of US soldiers died when Roosevelt was president. "Roosevelt just mismanaged World War II!"

There's no complicated math, stats, or decades of history required to notice or prove that you lied there, Barqy. The economy was closed down "to flatten the curve". That means that jobs were lost due to a pandemic, not to normal economic mismanagement. After big pharma sold enough myocarditis juice, the economy was opened up again, and the businesses that were already sitting there empty brought their workers back. 

The fact is that you're a liar, and anyone who believes what you're saying is dumb enough to vote for Kamala/Trudeau/Carney.

 

Do you know what did increase when Biden was president, by a lot? Drone-striking children. Joe Biden ran a masterclass on that. He also managed to decrease drone-strikes on terrorist leaders by 90%. 

This has been fun Barqy, but punching down on a ret4rd isn't a good look for me, so I'm gonna have to let you flounder on your own for a while.

Ahhh yes, your usual passive aggressive admission you're wrong    No logic, no reason, not even an attempt at an argument,  just salty tears and lashing out before you run away to cry in your room   

Sorry kiddo.  The facts don't care about your feelings.

Yes, we are smart enough to understand you are turning multiple complex variables into an overly simplistic single-variable analysis to illogically and wrongly conclude it is all the fault of Republican presidents.

@robosmith: Here's what an actual discussion about an actual cult looks like. 

Start off with videos or articles that provide a reasonable amount of proof to open a topic, then have a discussion about the indisputable facts presented therein. 

Maybe say things like: "Normal people don't go to scream at clouds parties, or bring emotional support animals to school just because their fave candidate lost an election, but these types of juvenile activities are considered mainstream by Demonrats" or "Demis shriek things that they know to be false, yet somehow feel to be true, and they react viciously to verified information from reliable sources, if it runs contrary to their programming."

They technically meet the dictionary definition.  I would tend to refer to them more as zealots tho.  Lots of people have strong feelings about their political belief - but theres is an unrelenting hatred of all who dare question any of it. They are fanatical and uncompromising, and tribal to the point of extreme political xenophobia.

Lets face it - some in the 'trump camp' can be the same but the vast majority are not, whereas it seems these days dem supporters are more likely to be that way.

It's like a form of compulsive behavioural disorder.  It's cult LIKE and it certainly has religious qualities but it's something else mixed in there.

Marx said religion was the opiate of the masses, but he hadn't met the democrats  

That was extremely well-written. I think you peaked in 2024 😂

For example, I know folks who are quite liberal that did not get vaxxed and besides a shrug of the shoulders.. not much happened. 

What country was that in? 😂

Definitely NOT Canada.

Next time you attend one of those parties, take some pics and post your selfies HERE.

In the mean time, I've attended a half dozen No Kings and other rallies, and NEVER seen ANYONE "screaming at clouds" so I can only conclude that's just YOUR FANTASY. LMAO

I posted a video of a Demonrat Cult "Scream at Clouds" event. 

People literally all gathered around just to scream into the sky in protest of Trump winning the election.

You literally just admitted to being a cultist 😂

No one showed you any evidence that Trump was trying to make himself a king because there has never been any. And yet somehow they convinced you to go out and cry in public - like a good little cultist.

Biden is NOT charismatic!

But the MSM tells the leftists that he is, so "He is".
