OH, REALLY? Republicans are destroying civilization. Hmm. Let's look at the facts.

Post-Reagan, there have been 4 Presidents, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Two of the four were Democrats, and since George H. W. Bush served only one term, the Democrats have controlled the Presidency for 4 of seven terms. Democrats have controlled the Senate for 7 of 13 Congressional sessions, and the House for 5 of 13 Congressional sessions.

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama each had one Congressional session where Democrats also controlled both Houses of Congress; George W. Bush had two Congressional sessions where Republicans controlled both Houses.

Democrats have controlled 2 or more of the House, Senate, and Presidency for 7 of the 13 Congresses since Reagan.

During Reagan's 8 years in office, Democrats held the House of Representatives all 8 years, by significant margins, and held the Senate for 6 of the 8 years. In words even a Daily Kossack can understand, Ronald Reagan never once had a united Congress of his own party.

And you expect me to believe Republicans are destroying civilization??
