The urban myth that Republican presidents are good for the economy needs to die..

[yourout]

It's been proven over and over and over that their economic policies are terrible for the economy.

Every crash in my adult hood was under a Republican.

[surfered]

1. Statistically, the economy always does better with a Democratic President

[valleyrogue]

2. Good for the economy means tax cuts

This is what Republican voters believe despite the fact Republicans are terrible for the economy.

[SheltieLover]

3. Rethugs are great manipulating con artists, which does not mean good for the economy

[Easterncedar]

4. Urban?

Yeah, wherever, it needs to die cause it’s killing us.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Yeah, I think it is mainly a Rural Myth. . . . .nt

5. We always have a recession under a GOP President ....

Republican presidents have overseen 13 recessions since 1913, with every single GOP chief contending with a recession during their tenure.

President Donald Trump Appears Set to Extend a 112-Year Streak

7. The crash of '29 was a Republican production aided and abetted by the Federal Reserve's failure to take action.

The Smoot-Hawley tariffs tripped the whole world into depression.

8. They keep repeating that lie despite a century plus of proof to the contrary

MAGA means taking us backwards to repeat the same mistakes of Hoover, Smoot, and Hawley, all Republicans.

9. Maybe that's Trump's end game.

10. It will only die when

the MSM stops perpetuating it.


They won.t

[Aristus]

11. As long as they own the media, it won't.

Even though Maria Bartiromo's constant expression nowadays is that of "I can't believe I've wasted my professional life regurgitating this shit", even she isn't going to come right out and say so. She's too well paid.

Until media sources that the Trumpanzees respect own up to it, nothing is going to change. Although now that I think about it, if a trusted right-wing media source does tell the truth, either deliberately or accidentally, the screeching howler monkeys of the right will just go find a new source of bullshit, over and over, on and on, until they're left with just Right-Wing Ronnie's Rambo Rage-Riot podcast.

12. The economy hasn't done better under a Republican since, Coolidge, maybe?

[Comrade Citizen]

13. he knows the truth

[kansasobama]

14. Reason for this is simple

Half of voters complain but do not vote. That skews the messages too.
