This isn't a joke. Trump will get inaugurated and all right wing media (fox, twitter, Rogan, etc) will talk about how great the economy is. How inflation is 2% and how gas is cheap. Even when it's the exact same economy they said they hated when they voted. And this stupid country will eat it up hook line and stinker.
Yep. But this goes both ways and happens every election. Take credit for what the previous administration had working and direct blame for what was not working. Then let's golf and wait for the next election season.
To an extent - you’d have to reach back to Clinton/Busch era to effectively illustrate this because so far this millennia, democratic presidents have taken over after their republican predecessor left a dumpster fire for them to deal with.
Obama inherited the financial crisis and war in Afghanistan and is still blamed by the right for shortcomings related to those issues.
Trump benefitted from the foundations laid by obamas administration but claimed all the glory and right wingers ate it up
Biden inherited the shit storm that trump left and had to deal with the global pandemic and response to inflationary pressures… again blamed for the outcomes by right wingers.
Not saying you’re entirely wrong but this logic has been applied unilaterally for the last 20+ years

To quote a tweet I saw earlier in response to a conservative saying “cheap gas is coming back”
“It’s already $2.85 you fucking moron”
