Yeah, it's the "the train stood up and clapped" bullshit that people post on their socials.

If these people knew anything about history they'd know about President Hoover raising tariffs, which prompted every country we traded with to do the same, making everything more expensive and worsening the Great Depression. The thing is, for all the podcasts and 24-Hour news voters in this country consume, they don't know jack shit other than to pull the lever for whichever candidate their preferred news network tells them to.

Not so much worsening the great depression as triggering it.
