Fairy tales don’t become facts just because you never stop repeating them

Or do they?
In the midst of a screed about how Donald Trump is a real old school Republican in the true sense of the word, meaning he wants to repeal as much of the New Deal as possible, unlike contemporary GOP leaders such as [citation missing], we get this:
Yet President Trump cannot simply ignore the modern conservative movement. For one thing, its two great successes, victory in the Cold War and reigniting economic growth (through Ronald Reagan’s tax cuts, spending policies and regulatory reforms), have made plausible his own visions of post-Cold War foreign policy and a resurgent economy.
Total per capita GDP growth, 1946-1980: 104.2%
Total per capita GDP growth, 1981-2015: 77.4%
Oh but you see that doesn’t count because of the aftereffects of World War II. Also, the fact that the economy grew just as fast under Clinton as it did under Reagan, despite a hike in marginal income tax rates on high earners that every right wing pundit on the face of the globe assured us at the time was going to destroy the economy and lead to cats and dogs living together doesn’t count either, because of the dot.com bubble.
So the facts never fit the narrative, but there’s always a good reason for that. Several in fact.
