Cuckservatives who do not conserve anything are the problem. Absolutely no one find these people credible at this point.
Time for Americans to step up and take care of the problem.
No one finds conservatives credible because their policies have failed utterly, and they have only been able to retain power through dishonesty, voter suppression, and gerrymandering.
The Democratic New Deal put in place by Franklin Roosevelt gave the American economy the greatest period of expansion in American history, that lasted for 40 years. Economic systems need to be adjusted from time to time, and certainly Democrats were well aware that the top tax rate needed to come down. But the tax code, combined with the burgeoning social safety net both stabilized the stock market, and ensured that American workers shared in the prosperity that their labour created. The War on Poverty was highly successful, enabling an entire generation born into poverty to rise into the ranks of working and middle class workers.
Poverty rates were more than 25% when Johnson started his War on Poverty, and slightly more than 10% when Ronald Reagan declared the it over. When Reagan was elected, a child born into poverty had a 20% chance of getting a good education, and working his or her way out of poverty. Conservatives are big on pointing out that 23% of black people are poor, well 77% of blacks aren't poor, and the Republican Party continues to hammer minorities on their rates of crime, poverty, and unemployment, while ignoring that the vast majority of minorities are law abiding, tax paying, productive Americans.
It's like judging all white people on the residents of Appalachia - the poorest white people in America. They're not the typical white people. They live in an economically deprived area, where many people don't have running water, jobs or a future. WELL DUH!!! So do poor minorities.
