    American voters do seem to have very short memories.

    Even faced with actual data that indicates that the economy has consistently performed better under Democrats over the past 75 years, they still pretend that the party of the oligarchs is somehow going to solve the problems of the working class.

    Donald Trump is very open about his own anti-labor policies as an employer, yet the very people who hate being screwed over by their bosses worship him.

    I don’t understand how anyone can function with this level of cognitive dissonance.

      I don’t care what any data report says, and neither does anyone else. It means nothing if my grocery bill has doubled and I have to start worrying if I’m going to have enough to eat for the week.
