They must be like 4 years old? Every republican pillages the economy, until dems come in to save it. This time is just more immediate and out in the open. Rinse and repeat.

Its even worse this time though, the felon candidate was even telling everyone how he was going to fuck up the economy with tarrifs, and its like all economists whispered quietly "This is kinda bad" instead of screaming it at the top of their lungs.

The fact he just kept saying blanket tarrifs are good and some people ate it up is insane.

No, they screamed it. People just ignored them because their google degree and personal research is 1000x better and more accurate than the people who are actually educated on the economy.

It’s a lot like anti-vaxxers and doctors.

It's because he wasn't spewing irrational hate.

Unlike the talking cheeto, who always looks for someone to put the blame on.

I dunno, maybe we heard different people but I was hearing a lot of economists saying "Yeah tariffs normally aren't great but hes not going to really do it" or trying to downplay it in some way. I kept hearing the softest responses to the tariff thing.

A lot of economists came out saying that he had a history of using tariffs, used his 2016 term as an example of why they’re bad, and stated trumps tariffs plan were terrible. At the same time, they praised Bidens economy while endorsing Kamala’s economic policy. A lot of economists did that. People just don’t pay attention ever nor even bother to care about it.

And yet I bet somehow after this, people will still claim Republicans are 'good for the economy'.

This happens every time a republican is elected Trump tanked the economy in 2020 and left in disgrace and Biden picked it back up and staved off a recession while Trump is plunging us head first back into the recession. It’s going to be a bad one

It is even worse now because there's no garantee that dems will be able to come back. The damage done to everything will take a long time to fix.
