- IncreasePosts 7mo agoOk, but is it cause or effect? Maybe Republicans do well when there is fear about the economy and a recession is coming.
- slater 7mo agoDepends. If it's a Republican president in office, we must look at many factors, it's a difficult thing, y'see, many variables and such, market fluctuations, etc. etc. etc. If it's a Dem president in office? 100% the Dem's fault.
- BonitaPersona 7mo agoIsn't literally this, but unironically, what dem supporters are doing in the least voted comments here? Why try to make it as if it was the "opposite side" doing it while I'm reading it?
- Braxton1980 7mo agoBecause Trump is an exception due to his abuse of executive power.

- krapp 7mo agoAre we seriously still doing the TDS meme in this, the Year of Our Lord 2026? At this point even his own people know he's a psychopath. "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is just another term for "being right all along."

- Hikikomori 7mo agoNothing wrong with being close friends with Epstein? The post about Obama's is just a funny joke?
- Braxton1980 7mo agoBiden was hated so much that large groups of people chanted "Let's go Brandon" (fuck Joe Biden) in public. There is video evidence of this. No Democrat politician has ever stated that Republicans have a mental illness for hating Joe Biden. Nor have they come up with a phrase similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome to describe it. This is why I don't like "both sides" people. Overall Republican voters and their representatives are worse people.

- jmye 7mo agoNothing more consistently ironic than accusations of “TDS” from people who don’t actually have anything at all to actually say.
- vkou 7mo agoThey have no words to defend his behavior, so they flip the table, and accuse anyone criticizing it of mental illness.

- watwut 7mo agoBecause practical measurable result of republican policies are comparably systematically bad. But, the way pundits and journalists write about it makes, the way discpurse goes systematically pretends literal opposite of reality.
- zeroonetwothree 7mo agoIt seems silly to blame these on the president though, consider just the past two recessions and how little they had to do with the actions of POTUS...
- aaaalone 7mo agoThey are still responsible for making the recession easier or harder or longer The Tarifs and the way trump acts, for example, massively disrupts markets.
- vkou 7mo agoThe funny thing is that both Trump or Biden handled the COVID shock reasonably well, but now that there isn't a global crisis, the former is hard at work creating a local one.
- _DeadFred_ 7mo agoI mean egg prices went up because of avian flu and that was Biden's to own so seem perfectly reasonable.
- 7e 7mo agoIs this the avian flu that didn't turn into another worldwide pandemic?
- _DeadFred_ 7mo agoyeah, because they killed all the birds. Funny how when science beats/stops things they don't happen.
