Stats don’t bear that out bro. Looking at 7 dems and 9 republicans real gdp growth was >4% with dems vs >2% with repubs. Similar superiority in both job creation rate and stock market returns.

And no matter how hard you cry about it, the economy objectively has done better under democrats than republicans evidenced by annualized gdp growth rates. Biden’s annualized growth rate was 3.2 compared to trump 1st term of 2.3. And lord knows what trump 2nd term is gonna be since he’s intentionally trying to put us into a recession. Trump didn’t even beat Obama on gdp growth, who was also at 2.3. Equally good as Obama if you want to say Obama was good for the economy. Equally bad if you wanna say Obama was bad for the economy. I’ll let you choose how you want to frame that.

It’s time you take a hard look at the facts. Instead of parroting that “republicans are better for the economy” nonsense that Fox News loves to say without any evidence.
Facts don’t care about your feelings.
