Compared to what the Republicans are doing, no it's not.

Inflation: Trump spent his whole term bullying the Fed to lower interest rates to suit his own ends as a real estate mogul, and improve people's perception of the economy. No brakes on when inflation starts, rates have nowhere to go but up.

Afghanistan: Are we talking about the withdrawal? the one Trump negotiated with the Taliban? Can't seem to remember whose administration that war was started under. Whole thing's probably their fault.

Foreign perception: Trump literally had the whole room laughing at him at the UN. the man was a giant clown baby and spent 4 years tanking our reputations with our allies so he could cozy up to Kim, Duterte, Putin, and Erdogan.

I don't have a handle on the whole "energy prices" situation as it seems pretty complex and there's likely myriad factors at play there. given you're just regurgitating fox news crap, whatever you think the issue is with "the border", i doubt it matches reality. Let me know when congressional Republicans do anything other than use it as a cudgel, though. Don't see them on board with doubling the number of immigration judges, which seems to be most credible people's first step to unfuck an incredibly broken and strained system. Nevermind additional reforms.

Anyway, feel free to continue making an ass of yourself. Just thought it was funny the first three things you said "couldn't be blamed on Republicans" were, in fact, entirely their fault.

But what is the Republican's plan to tackle these issues? Because much of the GOP platform, whether federal or state level, is a high emphasis on culture war to keep people distracted while their platform around tackling things like inflation is so extremely vague or not even possible. At the same time, we know exactly what their plan is when it comes to attacking rights and services we have and often take for granted.
