  I encourage you to look at a chart of the US deficit by administration if you’re challenging the fiscally responsible part. If you’re challenging the hateful part, you must be blind.

    I would argue that both sides are equally hateful and full of disdain for the other. The time of calm rational conversations where we agree to disagree has unfortunately passed. I can have a beer and calm conversation with anyone and have done it many times. I've even done it with open anti Semites and neo Nazis [it was a very good conversation] while I'm Jewish. These days instead of trying to understand where someone is coming from and having an open exchange of ideas, everyone just resorts to personal attacks and outrage. It's exhausting.

    congress controls the budget, not the presidential administration. It is very common in US politics to have split branches (Republican president with Democrat control of the congress and vice versa) with only very brief periods where a single party controls both branches. I think the conclusion you can come to when looking at deficit spending by congressional control is neither party is fiscally responsible in the last 40 years.

    Neither blind nor the useful idiot in this chain.
