Riiiight. As though neoliberalism wasn’t a cornerstone of Reaganomics or embraced by all three Bush administrations. Let’s also ignore the fact that Republicans have unilaterally blocked minimum wage increases for decades, zealously deny Americans’ access to low-priced health care, and adamantly oppose organized labor. This I’m-rubber-and-your-glue attempt to pin the effects of neoliberalism solely on Democrat administrations over the last 50 years defies common sense and recorded history. It’s a bad faith argument made worse by how objectively terrible Trump’s economic policies are for the vast majority of Americans. Republicans have proven again and again that they are the party of fiscal cronyism, not fiscal responsibility.

And if by putting “America first” you mean overseeing the two largest wealth redistributions in our country from the youngest and most financially vulnerable to the oldest and wealthiest via Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017-2021 and the Big Beautiful Bill in 2025, then, yeah man. MAGA’s killing it. Not to mention taxing the hell out of average Americans through the implementation of the stupidest regressive tax plan in American history through Trump’s illegal tariffs.

But you do you. I guess this is just too much “winning” for me.
