    I never said anything about the economy. Reread my reply; I said “mostly functional democratic society”. Democratic norms and checks and balances were in much better shape when Nixon took office than when Trump did.

        He’s got a point. As far as culture, norms, and sensibility, it was before Obama. However, he’s leaving out that we got to here because shit heads like him had a fuse blow in their brain when a black man became president.

          What kind of shithead exactly? I’m not sure what group I’m being pegged as here.

          had a fuse blow in their brain when a black man became president.

          That’s certainly part of it, but let’s not pretend Obama’s biggest contribution to the march to fascism was being a black man. Continuing the war on terror after Bin Laden’s death handily gets that honor.
