I continually fail to see how anyone could think Trump was good for the economy when he lowered taxes and raised spending by so much. Then tbe whole tariff thing that just fucked up supply and prices and the deportation scares that caused crops to sit rotting. What the fuck.
Every Republican administration since at least Reagan has done the same thing. The cut taxes for the rich and then increase spending every and then a Democrat comes in and cleans up their mess. Yet somehow they manage to convince people that they are the party that’s good for the economy.
It’s because knock-on effects of government policies take around 4-6 years to fully materialize. Republicans fully understand this and also understand that the average American dumb fuck has a political long term memory of 3 months at best. They can fuck everything up in a term or two, pass the buck to the incoming Democrat, and then blame the Democrat for everything they completely broke. Just look at the final massive deregulation that Bush pushed leading to the 2008 crash that Obama had to deal with - which they could then conveniently blame on Obama himself!
I am utterly convinced if ya got rid of talk radio you could revert a shit tonne of it. Dont even need to do much, just deregulate AM radio and let the hobbyists broadcast whatever they want theyll drown the airwaves with niche metal in five seconds.

What you’re seeing is the end result of literally decades of propaganda. Objectively, Democrats have been better for the economy for about 90 years.
