Deny doom and gloom

January 1, 2024 by Guest Post

by Wanda LaCroix, Missoula

The GOP has gone from representing America as a “shining city on a hill” to relentless Doom and Gloom. Inflation! Recession! Immigration! Crime! But the do-nothing Republicans in Congress don’t want to improve anything, they just want “issues” with which to cudgel their opponents.

If they really wanted to solve overwhelming immigration, why didn’t they do so when they had all the power? When Democrats offer immigration reform negotiations, what do they do? Run away like Ted Cruz on a Cancun vacation! 

Currently inflation is under control, recession is not imminent, the stock market has hit record highs while gas prices and crime rates are going down. 

The disgraced former POTUS wishfully foretells, with all evidence pointing to the contrary, that Biden will bring a “depression the likes of which we’ve never seen!”  

In 2021 Biden faced an unheeded pandemic, a world no longer trusting in America’s democracy, and a country reeling from an ongoing attempted coup and the Big Lie of election denial. The only way to stop this chaotic nonsense is to turn our collective back on those who enable and promote autocracy over democracy. 

Doom and Gloom is just plain Dumb and Glum.

    Republicans have turned into an apocalyptic death cult, led by an orange Jesus.

    On Jan 02, the US national debt was at 34 trillion. All things are not bright and beautiful. Our national debt exceeds GDP, and 50% of spending involves debt service. One would think the conspiratorial right, and the kook left could at least agree that Washington spending is completely out of control, but no. Make no mistake, sooner or later the piper will be paid. Personal credit card debt just topped 1 trillion and 72% of the national real estate market is unaffordable to the average wage earner. All the corrupt politicians in DC left and right are to blame, including Trump and Biden.
