It's ridiculous how effective "Republicans = economy" propaganda has been.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yep. They have literally never been good for the economy in my life time.
at the risk of sounding like a one-upper... I'm pretty sure theyv'e never been good for the economy in my parent's lifetime, either. And probably never have been, if we're being honest.
fun fact here is that while Walz is "anti-business" his policies across his 6 years as governor here has grown the MN economy, and business here are doing better than ever.
I think Eisenhower did petty good for the economy. That was nearly 100 years ago though.
The Republicans haven't been good for the economy since Teddy Roosevelt held office.
They probably mean his policies are bad for billionaires, like musk would never ever set up shop there
Conservative = Economy propaganda is prevelent all over the place, and just as effective, and just as false.
Don't forget the "Biden = inflation" propaganda
As is tradition, the Republican fucked everything up, and then successfully blamed his successor for things being fucked during the successor's term of office. You would think that people would remember 15% unemployment and having to wash your groceries and hide in your house and a multi-trillion-dollar emergency bailout program so half the country didn't go out of business and starve, but apparently not.
wait until people find out republicans are the people who let the most criminals into the country
funny how they had to abandon the demonstrably bullshit "trickle-down" narrative and just switched to "only commie libruls want to tax billionaires!!!"
they want everyone to forget about kansas
It's wild that people still try to pull that shit. We've known high tax rates and prosperity go hand in hand since, basically, the start of advanced economics.
Headlines like that are just so surreal. What person in their right mind could think Trump had any kind of economic competence?
You see the thinking is actually based in his many personal bankruptcies. The idea is to put the country into enough debt that it integer overflows into prosperity. It almost worked last time!^[1]
