Today is very similar to the 1920's

Calvin Coolidge (born John Calvin Coolidge Jr.;[1] /ˈkuːlɪdʒ/; July 4, 1872 – January 5, 1933) was the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929.

People always claim they want government out of their lives until they have a crisis, like Ohio, then they scream, why isn’t the government helping us. Isn’t it ironic.

Biden is handling things a lot better than Wilson did.

Biden isn't so much. And, the similarities hold. The real question is can the Republicans find someone who isn't Trump and has a decent message, like Coolidge did.

A century ago, the state of the US in political and social terms was very similar to today... Back then...

The nation was just coming out of Spanish Influenza, the worst Pandemic of the 20th Century.

Inflation and the threat of recession were very real. Inflation was a bit higher than it is right now, the government denied that either was happening or could happen, but people noticed with their greatly diminished buying power.

Socialism and Communism were on the rise in Europe and Asia. In the US Socialists were predicting the US to follow that lead in the near future. The Left was almost giddy with the prospect.

Overseas, the US was seeing its foreign policy crumble into ruin.

The presidency (Wilson) was ineffective as Wilson had had a stroke and was no longer capable of performing his duties.

The result of all this was the Left getting trounced at the polls. Democrats lost bigtime as the nation wanted to get government out of their lives.

Just pointing out history here...

Wilson was only President for one year and four months in the 1920’s, remaining time the office was filled by GOP Presidents, one scandal ridden and another voted out of office for incompetence

Inflation was a problem coming out of WWI, but subsided after that and recession was not prevalent, and the US didn’t have a real foreign policy and instead opted to withdraw from the world

Socialism peaked in the decades before, and Communism was nothing, in fact, if any radicalism prevailed it was right wing nationalism, the rise of the KKK, and renewed Nativism

Wow, to be that ignorant of history you must not only not study it, but actively deny it. And, yes, I do hate the Left. Any sane and reasonable person would.

So you hate people that do not agree with you? That explains a lot about you personally!

You are a hateful person! That is duly noted!

Let me just say, that sane and reasonable people do not hate others!

Politics is not about hate- it is about the art and science of government!

The government is denying that we are experiencing inflation. For example, this tripe from Harris yesterday...

Then there's this pack of lies straight from the White House:

Socialism is on the rise in the US at the moment just as it was in the 20's.

Our foreign policy is crumbling...

Biden can't deal with a Chinese balloon. The Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster, and now Pakistan is complaining that many of the weapons we left behind there are being used by insurgents and terrorists in their country. Ukraine is nothing but an endless money pit and distraction while Russia moves closer to China as an ally. North Korea is back to firing missiles regularly and has all of their neighbors worried about another war there. China has ratcheted up the rhetoric on Taiwan. Mexican cartels are moving enough fentanyl into the US to kill every person living in New York and California, and isn't doing a goddamned thing to secure the border as millions of illegals flood into the country.

Biden is senile. His staff hides him from the public as much as they can.

The Democrats did get trounced in the polls in the election following Wilson's time in office, and that continued to happen until FDR was elected. Coolidge, Harding, Hoover.

Your links do not say what you claim. Socialism is no more on the rise than it ever has, I dont think you know what Socialism is. Biden handled the balloon very well... and Ukraine and more. You are falling for conservative media hype like a simpleton.

Biden is not senile. We won the Senate, help the numbers strong in the House and beat back what was to be a huge Tsunami... hardly a trouncing.

Why do you lie so much?

I mean, you're a Nazi, you have zero integrity or honor, I get it. But who do you think you are going to trick with your lies? You're not particularly clever, you're certainly not articulate, so what is the purpose of the lies you vomit out?
