Crazy how the US economy seems to fair better under extreme leftist Democrats than fiscally responsible Republicans.

It's insane that Republican voters can't admit this or are fully under the spell of faux news

Strong economy favors a Republican candidate, and a weak economy favors a Democratic one, regardless of incumbent.

Per this researchhttps://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/the-economy-has-been-great-under-biden-thats-why-trump-won going back 89 years:

“We argue that when the economy is weak, Americans become more risk averse, and that’s why they favor the party that promises redistribution and social insurance—Democrats. During booms, by contrast, voters are more willing to take risks and therefore more likely to elect Republicans, who favor lower taxes.“
