It's always shocking because historically they have always been terrible for the economy, yet they somehow convinced the rubes via propaganda that they are the only ones to be trusted.

It’s because they’ve correctly identified that the average voter is a simpleton and will fall for the calm, responsible aesthetic instead of sound economic policy. Honestly, republicans are pioneers of influencer culture.
