Why does people vote for Republicans

 When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy.

"The reason is that Republicans peddle an economic fairy tale. That cutting taxes increases revenue and spurs tremendous economic activity. It’s a lie. A fantasy. They wreck the economy. The modern United States has experienced 11 recessions. Ten have happened under Republican presidents."

Economic data has been available to prove this. They simply don’t care, don’t understand, or both.

They don't care enough to even try and understand. There's a reason conservatives prioritize god, guns, and glory and not education, health, and solidarity.

If you give individuals a scapegoat like religion they can live their lives as aimless as they want and it's never their fault, it's God's will.

It's also not a coincidence that the same type of magical thinking fostered by religious zealotry is needed to believe Republicans or tax cuts are good for the economy against massive amounts of evidence to the contrary.

Some people can see with their own eyes that the economy is demonstrably worse under Republicans, in real time, and still refuse to believe it. If they couldn't acknowledge it for the past 50 years, they never will.

Fixing an economy takes time. So generally it goes like this -

  • Republicans break the economy and are eventually tossed out.
  • Democrats are elected and begin the process of fixing the economy, which winds up taking 5ish years.
  • Republicans are elected again.
  • All the hard work done by Democrats to fix the economy finally comes to fruition, Republicans take all the credit.
  • Voters believe "Only the Republicans could fix it."


Repeat.
