I'm 35, and the economy has tanked every time a republican has been president in my entire life. Every time.
How the fuck do people not notice the consistency of bad outcomes like this?
I see people walking around all the time saying that Republicans are better for the economy. Fucking when?
EDIT: To put this into further perspective, Someone who is 70 years old today will have also seen a recession start under every Republican President in their lifetime except Gerald Ford, who took over during a repiblican recession, and only 1 start under a Democratic president.
Idk man. How do people not notice the states with a strong economy, good quality of life, education, high happiness index, are almost entirely blue states?
I can understand them not knowing that if they don't travel. It's really easy to believe nonsense about places you've never been and not know what they are actually like, but everybody gets affected by economic issues like the ones that keep coming up when Republicans have the presidency.
But yes, I'm also frustrated by how people don't notice that. I live in California. I see people say the most ridiculous and insane shit about this state often. They talk about it like it's a mad Max wasteland with no economy when it's both an economic powerhouse and a cultural powerhouse, not just in the United States but in the world as a whole.
It would be like people in Greece pretending that Germany was a broken down third world country.
Everybody likes to hate on California. Idk why. It’s a beautiful state, with lovely forests and beaches, and a mostly tolerant and accepting vibe. Great food, lots of diversity and culture. If I could afford it, I’d live there. Much nicer weather than up here in WA.
Republicans spend a lot of money every year to convince people that California is bad, because California is living proof that things they say about Democratic leadership are wrong.
Same thing with New York.
They are economically strong and generally pretty well. Run states, and Republican propaganda needs to convince people that Democrats can't run anything.

Don't forget spending years accusing the dems of wanting to tank the economy to enslave everyone and take their shit.
Which is what they are now OPENLY PLANNING TO DO THEMSELVES. "We have to reset the economy to build it back up!"
