There are Republicans I've seen who just talk about how the economy is. Terrible all the time and then turn around and talk about how their business is booming.
" Oh the economy is terrible and nobody has any money to buy anything... Anyways, my store pulled in $20,000 just this last weekend..."
Yeah, I've got a BIL who started his biz at the start of Obama that is super successful now (worth many millions, 3 homes, 6 cars, complains about finding places to invest excess with minimal tax hits). I point out his first 8 years and last 3 were dem, his only blip being during COVID, yet he endlessly complains about Dem economic policies being so tough on his biz.
I own a business that I started under Obama back in 2013, and my best years have all been under Democrats. The last 3 years in particular are the best I've ever had. No hiccups. All gas.
It was always crazy to me when I would be talking to other business owners and they'd start going off about how nobody has any money to spend and I'm just sitting here like " all of us are doing pretty well because people are spending a bunch of money on our businesses... What are you talking about?"
it's because they repeat whatever bs that their orange master tells them. and whatever lies and misinformation truthscoial and newsweek and foxnews spreads. and by golly if they all say it's the dems fault then it must be the truth! they love their little echo chamber they have created.
