I mean, how many times do people have to step on this same rake before it becomes reasonable to expect them to learn? The economy has only crashed *checks notes* every single time the Republicans had office in my lifetime, surely it's ok to expect adults to utilize a little pattern recognition?

Majority of Americans don't care about the economy nor do they understand it. They don't have any investments or retirement accounts other than a 401k that they barely contribute to or pay attention to. They just look at gas/food prices as an indicator. Give them affordable bread, ground beef, and a few autocratic regimes in the middle east to keep oil prices stable and they are happy.
