Just wathced a Vice program about how things got worse [View all]

starting with Obama's elections and ending with Trump.

It started with the Republicans refusing to have both a tax cut and the stimulus program. Of course, it did not bother them when both Reagan and Bush cut taxes while put money in wars. And all the hatred about programs to provide jobs, to help the ones who lost their homes. One woman actually said that that's how it started with Hitler in Germany..

But I am curious about the teabaggers. Clearly they went after the Republican establishment so I wonder how they did in these elections. Somehow I don't think that Trump has much patience with them.
