Who was president from 2017-2021 is the most misunderstood factual piece of history today

Reader Dan Conway assembled this large illustration of this fact. Chalk it up to Trump’s scrambled brain, his lies, GOP liars, the lies and wilful stupidity of his base. Slice it however you like, but the MAGA Cult has the historical memory of fruit flies. No wonder they are so eager to destroy the Department of Education, erase history, and reshape reality on a daily and hourly basis. The Cult are People of the Lie.

Case in point, Professional Liar Bill O’Reilly shooting one of his feet…

…and then immediately blowing a hole in his other foot:

PS: “There enlies”?

PS: The whole White Male Victim Vows Vengeance Against His Oppressors Schtick is just a living laboratory illustration of the fact that the Cult is most self-pitying nest of crybabies on earth. That is Trump’s super-power: giving moral permission to assholes.

PS: When even Trump was smart enough to see that 3 million dead would be the result of doing nothing and you are still too stupid or evil to understand that, it is not surprising that you are heavily invested in burying history and making your prey even stupider than you are.

PS: DUI hire Pete Hegseth is too drunk, stoned, stupid, ignorant, dishonest, or all of the above to mention that the Women, Peace, and Security Act was signed by Trump in 2017.

  1. Trump likes to complain about people that he appointed, such as Jerome Powell. Somehow, everything that went wrong, even during Trump’s first term is Joe Biden’s fault. Yeah, right.

    MAGA seems to think that Joe Biden is either a complete idiot or an evil genius. Which is it? Is he a bumbling fool or is he the Prince of Darkness? He can’t be both.

    Trump is a symptom of the real problem. The real problem is that the White working class has become unbelievably stupid. They don’t read newspapers for any in depth news, they just watch Fox News with their bimbos in short skirts spewing right wing claptrap. And they worship Trump.

  2. Thirty odd years ago, the professor of a Southeast Asia political science class somehow got on a tangent about peasants as a class of people.

    He said westerners wrongly romanticized peasants. He told us “peasants are horrible people. They’re ignorant savages. They believe anything that a charismatic leader tells them”

    I thought that was terribly elitist at the time but the evidence seems to bear out his assertion. Of course our peasants have far more opportunity to overcome their ignorance than dirt poor substance farmers of past centuries.

    There is a reason MAGA wants to ban the teaching of real history and to discourage education in general. Totalitarianism needs an ignorant population to survive.

  3. No disagreement with 95% of this but one quibble that the MAGAts have a germ of a point about lockdowns etc in 202. While these were not “Joe Biden’s administration” – and while most (not all, but most) of these measures were justifable – it was Democratic governors who imposed them more at State level. GOPs like DeSantis quickly realised they could be popular by pushing the “freedom!” line.
    So if “Biden” is a synecdoche for “the Democrats”, the way “Jeremiah” can include “all the lesser prophets in that part of the Bible”, then their point is not utterly wrong factually. Just morally whack.
    Also, Charlie Kirk like others is missing the point about “your grandma dying alone in a hospital.” What if you going to see her will kill someone else’s grandma?
