Democratic National Convention. Electing americas first black president s friend. Trevor the final night of the Democratic National convention gave air time to rising democratic politicians who hadnt made appearances yet, from pete buttigieg, to tammy duckworth, to keisha lance bottoms. Everyone got a chance to speak. They also made space for michael bloomberg, democratic sugar daddy and bruce wayne who never became batman. Bloomberg used his speech to continue his yearslong beef with donald trump, and then apparently, started a new beef with a fly. And some people wondered why bloomberg didnt swat the fly away, but in his defense, bloomberg has probably never even seen a fly. He only knows about richpeople insects, like junebugs and goldplated beetles. But you see, my friends, this is what happens when you remove steve bannon from the ecosphere.

Now the politics of the United States definitely veered to the right during the 1920s. Republican president s, fairly conservative ones were electedly landslides, 1920, 1924, and 1928.

The most popular president in the 1920s, Calvin Coolidge who took office in 1923, when harding died o

Bills which rolled back the income tax increases that were passed during world war i. And the leading social movements on the left, labor unions and the socialist party, both lost members during the war. In fact, the socialist party was never really a factor in american politics again after the 1920 election. And people on the left, whether people we consider to be liberals, former progressives or radicals were all on the offensive during the 1920s. The most popular president in the 1920s, Calvin Coolidge who took office in 1923, when harding died of a heart attack and then was reelected by a landslide in 1924 famously said in the mid1920s, the business of america is business.
