Will 2026 finally be the year when a critical mass of Americans wakes up and realizes that Republicans always screw up the economy?
Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.
For the third straight time, a Democratic president handed a Republican president an economy that was at the least pretty good, and at most (Bill Clinton) really humming along very nicely. And, for the third straight time, the Republican has made things worse. Which also means that Democratic presidents have to clean up messes left by their GOP predecessors.
They are easily manipulated by propaganda, and Republicans have weaponized that for years, leading to where we are today. They’ve used that propaganda superiority to define and control the messaging for decades, all of it negative and self-serving.
So the Dems should do the same thing, but with POSITIVE propaganda, and pound them relentlessly with new messaging, accompanied with positive reinforcement, and take control of the definitions and messaging.
