A fundamental difference between contemporary Democrats and Republicans (please note that The Party of Trump has little-or-nothing to do with the original Party of Lincoln), is that Democrats believe in deep contextualization.
Generally speaking, Democrats understand that “the fullness of truth” (which is where the truth truly resides) is found only in deep contextualization, whereas Republicans - particularly those who want to distort, or even mangle truth - deliberately avoid contextualization (or even descontextualize) because it makes it easier to misrepresent what is really going on.
Yes, Clinton got rid of many government employees because it was Clinton (joined by representatives of BOTH parties… and after months of mutually respectful negotiation) who took it upon himself to get rid of government bloat.
And so…
Currently, there is far less bloat.
Whether or not you agree with this assessment, here are the contextualized facts. https://www.aljazeera.com/.../fact-check-did-clinton-set...
Just as Trump supporters are becoming afraid that Trump‘s promised tariffs will not bring “trillions of dollars” into the treasury, but instead will trigger recession, y’all will soon realize that Trump’s $4 trillion tax cut aimed at multi-billionaires like himself (while simultaneously imposing all manner of austerity on Trump’s base) is simply unacceptable.
It is a fool’s errand to predict the precise timing of events, but I will bet you $1000 “even money” that the American economy goes into recession within the next two years.
I will also bet you another thousand dollars “even money” that inflation will not go down in the next two years.
And I will bet you another thousand dollars that Trump’s approval rating goes down by at least 10% between now and the midterms.
Finally, I will bet you $1000 that the party of Trump loses its House majority in in the midterm elections. (I am not as sure that Democrats will win back the Senate, but I am sure that no amount of “mangling truth by decontrxtualization” will keep his goose from being cooked.)
"Unless Truth Is Richly Contextualized, It Is Likely That Uneducated, Ideologically-Driven People (Who Never Learned How To Think In Context), Will Use Fragmented Shards Of Truths To Tell Colossal Lies"
"How Conservatives Use Decontextualized Shards Of Truth To Tell BIG Lies"
"Truth Infuriates People Whose Lives Are Lie"
Earlier Today, I Heard A Trump Supporter Say: "You Don't Know What To Believe." Once Trump Gets You To Throw Up Your Hands, You Won't Be Able To Determine What's True. Instead, You'll Be More Willing To Accept Lies As Truth. This Is Why Trump Lies So Much And Says "Who Knows? We'll See" So Often. Hannah Arendt Has The Details
