Something to keep in mind when you hear that voters care about the economy and vote the way they do because of the economy and vote for fascists because of the economy…
…is that for about half the population, “the economy” just means “whether a Republican is president.”

the two complete myths the GOP has managed to get too much of the country to believe is that any service is better done by unregulated, private industry, rather than government, and that the GOP is good for the economy.
repeated evidence to the contrary on both has somehow escaped too many folks and here we are.
