Oh don't worry, Trump is breaking this cycle. This time, no recovery will be possible and no democratic president will be elected.
Nonsense. We fixed everything by abstaining in the election. Kamala realised she needs the support of the left in order to win, and adopted a socialist platform while moving to impeach Trump.
It's never been like what's happening now though, not even close. They're breaking this cycle in the worst way. Plus dems weren't just slow. They're straight up comatose and have their own fair share of grifters further hindering any effective counter measures.
joe biden made a huge deal about how america had made a great recovery (and honestly kudos to him that he inherited the worst possible situation and made it better) but there was something incredibly tone deaf about acting like the problem was fully fixed and everything was going great. i think he would have been better off saying "i've done this much with a narrow majority. i want to do more to help you, the person making less than $238k, live comfortably, but for that i need more support from congress and more time"
saying everything was going great just told those people struggling it was never going to get better for them. obviously falling for trump is… embarrassing since he's who made everything so awful in the first place (well not the first place. that honor goes to the establishment of a political and economic hierarchy 12k years ago), but still, joe biden opened a door for trump to come back. he opened it a little with his messaging, and opened it all the way by not doing anything to ensure any kind of consequences for doing a coup. what the fuck was everyone waiting around for? the gathering of evidence? why? we all saw it
he opened it a little with his messaging, and opened it all the way by not doing anything to ensure any kind of consequences for doing a coup.
Also not going after price gouging. That and letting Trump go are the two big mistakes of his administration.
and not listening to his largely pacifist base that they weren't fans of genocide
The anti Israel part of the Democratic party is a tiny vocal fringe.
Obama early in trump's turn: "Trump can't fix this broken economy, he doesn't have a magic wand!"
Obama on Trump's economic performance after his first term: "Yeah, it was pretty good because it was my economy!"
Hmmm... Which is it?
Then of course Biden or whoever was actually in charge in the white house printed ~9x the US dollars in circulation, and killed all the chickens (maybe it was necessary but it sure as hell wasn't something to blame Trump for, of all people). Now every issue is Trump's fault?
And sure, tariffs are actually Trump's first big economic move, and the immediate reaction is a stock panic. But we haven't truly seen the results yet. I wonder what the new cope will be if six months later Trump got most of his demands met, the tariffs are over, and things are looking up again? Are you going to say actually it was Biden's good economy? I'd bet my life savings the answer is yes.
What are trumps demands agian?
Edit: Is there any amount of data that could show you Obamas economy trended right into trumps?
