Will 2026 finally be the year when a critical mass of Americans wakes up and realizes that Republicans always screw up the economy?

Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.

For the third straight time, a Democratic president handed a Republican president an economy that was at the least pretty good, and at most (Bill Clinton) really humming along very nicely. And, for the third straight time, the Republican has made things worse. Which also means that Democratic presidents have to clean up messes left by their GOP predecessors.

    You’re making the mistake of believing them when they use “good economic management” as the reason behind their vote

    It’s a lie

    They don’t really care about the economy.

    “The Economy” is lofty, worthy, and who could argue against someone who is for a stronger economy?

    They will vote republican because republicans don’t just allow their hate and ignorance, they tell them that they are righteous for it

    Not one of them could tell you what GDP means, or how fiscal policy affects inflation, but they can tell you exactly who is on the long list of people they hate and fear
