"Trump was good for the economy" is a particularly egregious example of how covid seems to have given some people amnesia.

It's just the latest incarnation of an older delusion: Republicans are good for the economy!

ashtheticart.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't think they've figured out that we've already figured out that when Republicans say they're "good for the economy" what they really mean is they're good for rich assholes.

So many.

I realized that the median voter had the memory and attention span of a goldfish when Biden's approval rating dropped a few months into his presidency after withdrawing from Afghanistan.

I hate anyone who incorporates the phrase “-hoax” into their explanation. Russia-hoax, good-people-on-both-sides-hoax, j6-hoax. If a conservative says “hoax” in describing anything Trump related you know their brain has been cooked beyond repair; much like Trumps steaks.

He tanked the economy last time. Why do people forget this?

The last election demonstrated the economic voters are too ignorant to vote based on the economy. Strongest economy in 3 decades.

Because "good biz man, good for economy" i swear people only voted for him because of the TV show he was on.

Their suffering definitely delights me the most.

I have no sympathy for the mendacious.

When is Noah Smith writing his?

The leadership of the NYT clearly thought that Trump was going to be good for business, they put their hands all over the scales, now they're in find out phase, and let me tell you, they deserve whatever they get.

megamaster1021.bsky.social•7 days ago

They really bitched about Biden doing nearly everything but when Trump does those exact same fucking things they downplay it deny it or don't acknowledge it
That's what pissed nearly everything they say is just pure projection and they're too stupid to realize that

Republicans have never been good for the economy. Ever.

shanzival.bsky.social•6 days ago

They're great for (big) business owners though, which isn't the same as the economy.

venavis.bsky.social•5 days ago

They are only good for those short term

shanzival.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's all most C-suites and boards care about these days

historiken.bsky.social•7 days ago

maybe our only economic barometer shouldn't be whether rich fucks pay taxes, who could have guessed

bradlovett.bsky.social•7 days ago

That and Evangelicals

winniethewitch.bsky.social•7 days ago

Right up there with the 'America is more respected globally under Trump.'

icefire9atla.bsky.social•7 days ago

'He's a business man.' There are people who decided that he gets to be the most powerful person in the world because he was so impressive on a reality TV show. Absolute pudding for brains making decisions off of the tiredest cliches, without an ounce of critical thought on their assumptions.

CEOs and company shareholders are essentially infants that need to be protected from eating batteries and jamming forks in electrical outlets.
Clearly whenever they get their way they ruin things for everyone, INCLUDING themselves.

"We have to vote for Trump or Kamala will start World War Three" people have a lock on the #1 spot for me. Just totally disconnected from reality.

Yahoo! to be banned from all White House servers, then...

There's no reasoning or debate with a cult. It's useless.

aauughh

joekauffmanvo.bsky.social•7 days ago

The majority of professional economists said this. They also said Kamala's plans would grow the economy while Trump's would shrink it.
How are people surprised by this?!

meza.bsky.social•7 days ago

Kamala even cited it during the debate!

greaseybees.bsky.social•7 days ago

Love trying explain to ppl that Trump saying stupid things is in fact evidence he is stupid and not secretely smart

countessemilia.bsky.social•6 days ago

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nghs.bsky.social•7 days ago

In Trump’s first term, the economy continued on a similar trend to that under Obama for a period before tanking after he mismanaged COVID

They’re his credentials not some mythical golden age

inn3rpanda.bsky.social•7 days ago

“hE’S A buSInEsSmaN!”

wickedmitch.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s a widespread misconception-hell I had current/former students who were actively scared of what Trump would do on other issues expressing the idea that ‘at least the economy will be good.’
