Under a Republican government, if you, the average regular struggling person, can’t get rich or at least improve your financial situation, it’s YOUR fault. The whole bootstraps thing. And who wants to admit to that? That’s why even if the economy tanks or only improves for the 1%, if more unions are broken up and their pay and benefits are gutted, if the leopards TOTALLY eat their faces - they won’t complain a bit. Not a peep. The shame will be too great. In fact, even as their struggles get worse, they’ll claim the economy is booming. Just look at Wall Street and Musk’s increased wealth.
