Truth…though I don’t think you have to go that far back. Hell, in 2014 you’d have wondered WTAF?
There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is
I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

You can’t fully describe MAGAt stupid to anyone. To fully comprehend the level of idiocy involved, it has to be demonstrated. Folks, exhibit I:

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
