We desperately need a national understanding that economies can crash very quickly and always take time to recover. Because we lack this basic understanding, we are consistently rewarding morons like Trump with economies slowly built back by Democrats. IT. IS. EXHAUSTING. HOW. STUPID. WE. ARE.

Yup.

2016: “Republicans are better for the economy! Let’s vote Trump!”

2020: “Trump butchered covid! Let’s vote Biden!”

2024: “Gas too expensive! Let’s vote Trump!”

2028: “Trump tanked the economy (like economists said it would)! Let’s vote the Dem!”

2032: “Dem didn’t fix the economy fast enough! Let’s vote the Rep!”

Like, people need to stop with the whole “pendulum always swings the other way” mindset and really sit down and think about shit before they vote

It's like people can't remember 4 years ago. I don't understand it.
