ps Eric- you're FIRED!!
Sort of fights with the notion that Hollywood is on the Democrat's side...
But it's good to still see some signs of 'optimism'. 'Climaxing' with Donald? Does this mean the perspectives and desires of the rural / Republican population can't result in someone worse than Donald? A reasonable assumption, perhaps...
-- l wish l could find that thread. They were comparing this crappy cycle to the New Deal cycle. Hoover was the last gasp of the previous cycle, which resulted in Roosevelt's election & implementation of the New Deal, which continued on with LBJ's Great Society, & it's last gasp was Jimmy Carter. This resulted in Ronnie Raygun who ushered in the voodoo trickle down cycle, which should be seeing it's last gasp with the Donald, & the next prez will start a new cycle. l used climaxed bcuz do we really know if this is the end? According to S&H we s/b in full blown crisis mode in 2020, so l can see why the next prez s/b be a transformative one (ie, starting a new cycle) but we ain't there yet. lt seems logical to me but l'm hedging my bets, just the same
