chris actualHis supporters nod along with his asinine bullshit like they understand the nonsense he spews. But he's objectively wrong about history. The federal income tax saved the US from the boom-bust cycle of tariff-based government funding that led to the great depression. This is the most cynical #gaslighting this clown has attempted, and this particular clown is an accomplished gaslighter. Wow. Just wow.

"Economists now agree that Hoover’s tariffs (Smoot Hawley) deepened the economic downturn that had begun with the 1929 stockmarket crash. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gradually reduced the tariffs during his presidency, and his Democratic and Republican successors continued that pattern well into the 21st century."
Sound familiar? We've already made these mistakes, but republicans AGAIN are running headlong into the meat grinder over failed tariffs. It's amateur hour at the #gop
