Is this a lesson that Americans will ever learn? Elect the GOP, expect a recession.

„The last time Fox News surveyed a Democratic edge on the economy, it was May 2010 — as the country was emerging from the Great Recession. Since then, the outlet had conducted 10 polls on the subject until the latest one, with the GOP holding the advantage on each and holding as high as a 15-point edge on the economy in January 2022 and February 2023. “
It’s nuts how much graft and incompetence it takes for people to realize Republicans don’t create helpful policies for all

The „Republicans are better for the economy“ myth has been strictly running on vibes and trickle-down propaganda since the 80s

No matter how bad republicans tank the economy, and no matter how well democrats save the economy, the public sees social media and votes republican

Which is insane as Republicans have repeatedly ruined the economy and increased the debt, with Democrats regularly cleaning up their mistakes with better fiscal responsibility.

Hmm I wonder what happened before 2010 that made Americans realize Republicans fucking suck on the economy…

Listen we have seen this movie already. This is how it will happen.
First, US electorate will punish the GOP and then will demand for Dems to fix this immediately. Dems will attempt to reform and fix the economy with the added pain and needed concessions, but then GOP will obstruct any reforms and will blame Dems for the economy ills they have created in the first place. US electorate, suffering from its usual bout of political amnesia, will then punish the Dems and return the GOP back to power. The GOP will again continue with the same corrupt method which started the crisis.
Wash, rinse, repeat

Which is ridiculous because the GOP has been fucking up the economy for decades while Democrats fix the situation.

Republican Party used to stand for fiscal conservatism, but when Reagan catered to corporations and businesses, they turned the party into the party of big business while claiming to care about the common American. We are what? 40 years later, 4 tax cuts, Citizen United ruling and 4 recessions started under Republican Administrations, with lowest job growth under Republican Administrations, most deficit increases vs. democratic administrations and people keep voting for them. The only two administrations to balance the budget and create a surplus since WWII were democrats. Truman and Clinton. It’s insane. Trump has done everything he promised he WOULDNT do and his supporters are still supporting him. Wars, inflation, corruption, deport the non-criminal immigrants, Epstein files, increase the deficit/debt.
He had done all of that on a scale that most presidents dont see in 4 years and he did it in 16 months. Inflation is officially higher than it was when Biden left office, gas is on average $1.10 higher a gallon, we are fighting Iran, Cuba, removed a leader in Venezuela. Epstein files still not fully released, increased the deficit, three cabinet members removed because of corruption scandals, hundreds of lawsuits, billions in profits for his family.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug. The stats and just basic reality is that democrats are better for the economy. But somehow the gop has just propagandized it the other way.

Too bad millions of Americans exist in a parallel world of ignorance, racism, and sexism that will ensure this latest iteration of Republican disaster will be forgotten in 4-6 years.

Hey, Billionaires might become Trillionaires with a weak economy. Everything they do is about extracting every possible cent from the working class and removing consumer protections.
Also, Trump has absolutely been manipulating the market. In my opinion, it’s child’s play compared to what he did in 2020 for the $2 Trillion in CARES act. $500 billion went to bail out greedy corporations where Trump said “I’ll be the oversight” in order to avoid disclosing reports directly to congress.
You’d have to be AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON to think the Republicans are good for the economy. Trump should be in fucking prison.

It’s amazing to see how many people actually believe the lies that Republicans are good for the economy, care about personal responsibility, or even that they’re good Christians when everything they do and say proves the exact opposite
Even if they have great PR from most of the media working for them, there’s something wrong with anyone who believes their bullshit

Reagan, W, Trump1, and Trump 2 have all collapsed the economy. The lie that Republicans are good on the economy has to die.

Remember kids, Biden was the third democrat in a row to inherit a recession from a republican who inherited growth from a democrat.

tax cuts on the rich and unlimited war spending can only fool part of the people part of the time?

Democrats topping Republicans and somehow it’s still the regular citizens getting fucked.

Democrats have always been better on the economy, just not so good with the propaganda
SoulTaker669 on
What I want to know is why there’s still so many elected Republicans and even just Republicans in general that refused to jump off the sinking ship. Elected Republicans refuse to acknowledge that they’re on a sinking ship. Do they think it’s going to pay off if they decide to stay loyal to the bitter end ?

Good but that is such an indictment of the Democratic Party. The fact that a party full of cartoonish villains can be seen as more trustworthy on the economy is pathetic.

call me crazy. Trump flailing in his death throes will be a spectacle. By the time 2028 rolls around, dems will have super majorities to finally fix this shit. Writing is on the wall.
ViolettaQueso on
A lot of it is because Trump is such a deal breaker to regular conservatives and maga is a big scab that Trump has caused so many fiscal conservatives to migrate left just to have zero association.
The numbers nobody is reporting artificially inflate his “supporters” percentages, because so many have bailed permanently because of Trump and the heritage foundation.
He’s left with super aging folks who equate him with the second coming of Christ rather than the antichrist he’s emulating, or a bunch of perma-racist poor folks and their “elected” rich representatives.

THANK GOD people are finally starting to see the light. Not that Dems are de facto better than Republicans on the economy, (I mean, aren’t they though??) but that Republicans are detrimental to it every time they have power.
Too bad it took electing a literal „King of Debt“ conman TWICE so that he could go on bludgeoning everything we were doing well economically for people to finally figure it out.

What dems should do: “oh shit! Lets out forward candidates and policies that have economic populism at the forefront!”
What dems will do instead: “see? people are tired of MAGA and populism and we will go back to brunch!” (Punches left and pushes young moderates like Buttigieg)

That’ll flip when a Democrat can’t clean up this mess instantly. Just like it did every other time.

The pattern is always the same. Republicans crashed the economy. Democrats fix the economy, only for voters to forget who’s actually better at the economy and elect a republican again to crash the economy again.

First time since 2010, I’m gong huh?
Then I saw Fox poll
That explains everything
What about polls from actual news sources?
