They did the same with Obama. Blamed him for an economy that he inherited from Bush. Then when Trump came around he boasted about how great the economy was… you know, the one he inherited from Obama.

Exact same thing this time around. Covid happened, Trump bumbled it and also Congress gave away 950 billion mainly to people who didn’t need it, Fed lowered interest rates to zero… so Biden inherited rampant inflation and massive home price increases, and according to Conservatives, it’s the ‘Biden economy’. Of course they can never name anything they think Biden did to cause it.

Every time. Take credit on the way in, cast blame on the way out.

Why wouldn’t they? Their voters know it’s bullshit but don’t WANT a stable country.

Their voters have absolutely no idea its bullshit. They literally have no idea what’s going on. If you watch the right wing propaganda for even a day, not a single piece of real information will be presented. It’s just garbage.

When something significant does happen or come to light, they’ll spend the day discussing something irrelevant and distracting like Hunter Biden.

It’s quite the opposite in many cases. Their voters have no clue about what is going on in most cases. The only thing they know is what they hear from their politicians on their “news” channels or from memes on Facebook.

That’s why it annoys me any time someone suggests friendship and/or centrism with conservatives. They literally don’t care about the truth, even what words mean. There is no “reasonable” discussion to be had; half of their opinions are literally because of belief in the supernatural, and the other half is Dunning-Kruger economics.

“But studies show the best way to deprogram them is to talk to them” the worst people you interact with regularly online say, ignoring that the studies are talking about in person interactions and that we can’t all be deprogramming all the time. Some of us would just like to exist from time to time.
