Unfortunately it's easy to say border and the mistaken belief that Republicans are good for the economy/inflation.
But it's still funny to see so many stammer.
Speaking of the border, what kind of cognitive dissonance is going on with Republicans right now when 1) Trump built a big, beautiful wall to keep immigrants out and 2) There's a crisis at the border due to all the immigrants flooding into the country.
Did Trump not build the wall? Was the wall not effective?
That's just the thing, he didn't build the wall. He spent 4 years talking about it and didn't even start. That's all it ever was: a bunch of hot air. Now I don't really hear much talk about walls anymore, probably because his base has the memory of a goldfish and can't recall any talking points Fox didn't provide them with that week. Now it's inflation that is the issue the wedge into every conversation, and honestly I'm not entirely sure they know anything about it besides "that's when prices go up". Like there's a dial in the oval office that controls it and Biden cranked it up just to be a dick. It would funny if not for the coup a few years back.
He did build some of it though. Just part of that happened to blow over in a stiff wind and the remainder has proven remarkably vulnerable to sawzalls.
You forgot how it's easy and convenient to climb, you can even clip a rope ladder on it for children and old people
Although you might want a tetanus shot...
I have had conversations with people who thought that Trump built the wall but that Biden "welded it open." I wish I were kidding.
