Both are true. Obama's presidency caused a racist backlash. Trump's caused the legitimacy of racism.

Remember when liberals insisted that the UE numbers were right but ignored the participation rate. So now you're saying you no longer believe these numbers?

Amusing.
its the GOP that are deficit hawks when they are not in power. when they are in power, like they do right now, deficits don't matter anymore hence the tax cuts and increase in military spending


don't know where will they get the money when the recession comes again

Obama's Presidency WAS the racist backlash. He preached racism, and divisiveness constantly.

The conservative forums I have been on would quote shadowstats all the time.
Now they are silent on shadowstats.

Prove it. Strange how someone like you, who CLAIMS to go on conservative websites says one thing. And someone like me who is an actual conservative, who actually interacts with conservatives, knows for a fact that conservatives emphasize the LPR.

The best part of your absurd post is you trying to equate conservatives with trump. Make something else up to cover up the fact that progressivism is a known failure and those polices don't work. Any wonder why you don't discuss policy?

Why isn’t Trump creating as many jobs per month as Obama did?

YOUR response was to use trump who is not a conservative. The problem lies in the fact that progressives, from both parties are losers. Their policies are failures so the only left to do for them to do, is call anything they don't like or agree with conservative.
It's lemming mentality from those who don't believe in the truth.
So if Trump is not a conservative these days, why are you and the rest of the cons all on his dick so much? You're fawning over him because he's a liberal?

Cons did poo-poo the stock market growth and the reduced unemployment rate under Obama. Now they crow about it. That makes them idiots and hypocrites.

The rest of your stuff was just an attempted diversion. Address the real point, which is why you look up to a dumbass who lied about the unemployment rate and now takes credit for it.

The million (10 million when adjusted for inflation) dollar question is: why?

You just answered it. Inflation. When you artificially inflate the money the value goes down.
