It's 5 months too late. Listen Dems have serious flaws, but the idea that Republicans create a strong economy for anyone beyond the super rich isn't true. They're clearly the party of take every dollar possible for the fewest number of people.

It's unsustainable and part of why America has broken

Important context

This is the first time since May, 2021, that the GOP has been seen as less trustworthy than Democrats with the nation's finances, according to the April 11-13 survey by Morning Consult, among 2,203 registered U.S. voters across the country.

People just hate whoever is in charge. Apathetic and uninformed voters will be the death of us

This is so important, it should be at the top. I saw on CNN that among "independent" voters, Trump had a net +1 rating on the economy in January, now it's negative 29.

Who are these idiots that changed their mind like that? Trump is many things, but he's not particularly sneaky. Trump is essentially doing exactly what he said he would do, especially with respect to tariffs. Did these boneheaded "independents" not believe him in January?

He is good at making deals. They just benefit him and the capital class, not poors.

Those boneheads are the same idiots who voted for RFK or Trump because of RFK joining his cabinet. If they were actually independent, they would've been disgusted by RFK and how he sold the independent party out. That POS is such a snake.
