    MAGAts talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome but “conservatives” are still trying to destroy everything FDR helped create. That’s how far the FDIC goes back. This is why they want to do away with physical cash. Can’t have a run on a bank if your electronic money just suddenly disappears.

      The qons hold derangement syndrome towards a great many things going back decades…
