The meme is deficient in at least two respects. First, we know the Democrats have accomplished so much more than the brief list on the meme. Likewise, the Republicans have surely accomplished something? And now, a list of Republican accomplishments.
President Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation - though that was another Republican Party. Republicans in Congress today would shut down the government before they would pass a law equivalent to the emancipation proclamation.
President Reagan surely must have done something because he is so revered.
Vice-President Cheney, along with Messrs. Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld, liberated Iraq.
We all know the Republicans ARE better for the economy. These 3 articles provide analysis of that myth: www.nytimes.com/… www.rollingstone.com/... www.nationofchange.org/...
Republicans have created numerous voter suppression laws, though U.S. Courts are now robbing them of that accomplishment by striking down many of those laws as unconstitutional.
Republicans have also managed to thwart any gun control laws.
They've blocked hundreds of Presidential appointments, including Supreme Court judicial appointments.
What Republicans do very, very well? They are adept at creating an alternate reality devoid of science, and math, and history. They've created a reality where beliefs trump facts. They've created an Earth that is a mere six thousand years old, and a therapy that converts gays to straight. They’ve refused to be sucked in by that Zika virus thing. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health & Human Services calculated the prevention and preparedness estimate for Zika would be $1.8 billion. The CDC predicted that absent the funding we would experience many deaths and birth defects, including micro-encephalitis. The administration sent the request for funding to Congress in February. Our astute Republican Congressmen decided Zika was all a hoax. Our Republican congressmen know more than the doctors and scientists who put together the plan for preparedness. So how much did they allocate to fight this disease? $0.00. Republicans have explained there is just not enough money to pay for disease prevention. Fortunately, we always have enough money for bombs.
As of July 30th, we now have 4 mosquito borne cases. That number will grow exponentially. And, in a few years, when we go about our business, and we see children suffering from micro-encephalitis, and we will, then we can witness another major accomplishment of the Republican Party. Like the soup Nazi, they say: "No healthcare for you! No social security for you! No living wage for you! No Zika prevention for you!"
So the meme does no justice to either political party. The Democrats have accomplished more than the slight list on the meme. And, though the meme gives a false impression that the Republican Party has achieved nothing, we can quickly list numerous Republican accomplishments, though many are dubious.
