Americans have been trained like Pavlovian dogs to believe that Republicans “are good on the economy,” despite the fact that it is simply not true. Just factually, empirically, not true. At all.
The last admin that was a democrat that oversaw the start of a recession was LBJ, seriously. Clinton avoided dotcom, Biden avoided Covid, Obama avoided GFC, Carter was after the recession caused by Nixon, and then in 68 you have a small recession.
Oh don't worry they spin this always as "HURRR THE DEM PRESIDENT GOT HANDED A GREAT ECONOMY BUY THE REPUBLICAN BEFORE HIM THEN THE NEXT REPUBLICAN WAS A VICTIM OF DELAYED EFFECTS OF THE DEM POLICIES FROM BEFORE HIM BRO"
Any economic gain is because of Republicans. Any downturn is because of Democrats. This is the cult. They actually think you can deficit spend AND cut taxes at the same time forever and it will just magically keep working. They try to juice the economy when they have power every single time doing this.
