@BrittTheBarista @Perduesenate @marcorubio You've believed the Big Lie that Democrats "will destroy America with socialism."

I understand. I believed it too.

It's time to start asking yourself whether it's true.

To find out, we only need a quick tour of history.

@Perduesenate @marcorubio We only need to start asking questions.

So let's do it.

1) Has there ever been a time when Democrats controlled American government?

2) If so, did those Democrats come close to destroying America with socialism?

The first question is easy to answer.

@Perduesenate @marcorubio We've had many Democratic Presidents in the past. To keep it relevant, let's concentrate on the past 40 years, or the lifetime of the average American.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan -- a Republican -- was elected President. For most of the next 8 years, we had a booming economy.

@Perduesenate @marcorubio So far, so good.

His Vice-President, George H W Bush, took over as President in 1988, & was President until 1992.

During Bush's term, America slipped into a recession.

Because of this, Bush's Democratic challenger, Bill Clinton, was elected President of the United States.

@Perduesenate @marcorubio This gave Democrats an opportunity to destroy America with socialism, if that's what they wanted to do.

Is that what happened? No, in fact, during Clinton's 8 years, America's economy boomed.

SO much that we were actually talking about paying off the national debt...!
