Then we'll just say it wasn't the president's fault all by himself - even though we've been claiming for decades that democrats inherit republicans' terrible economies and Republicans inherit democrats' stupendous exonomies. (i.e., Bush inherited Clinton's great economy, Obama inherited Bush's terrible economy, Trump inherited Obama's great economy, etc. Nice way to try explaining why economies become crappy while guys you support are in office). But see, they can't do that anymore bc after they publicly robbed the 2020 election and the economy plunged instantly with Biden, the whole 8 year economy delay BS excuse they have got disproven because Trump was only in office for 4 years, so now they need a new excuse or they'd actually have to admit that Dems are suiciding the country's economy, which the media will never admit.

Let's test this theory and elect Republicans for about 24 straight years and see what happens.
I have a notion.

honestly I'm for splitting the country into two countries like the Koreas did. One for the left wingers and one for the right. The stuff the left is doing, i have no interest in living with it. And since they likely feel the same about us, let's both have our way! Only thing is, I bet our side won't be the one gating people inside...

Better yet, Blue and Red, or rather North and South, which is pretty much the same thing, give or take, except some Western Flyover States that might as well be in the South.

This way the Blues no longer have to suffer the economic drain and thus get to prosper far better, while the Reds get to keep complaining about why they've been poorer since the Colonial Era.

You are really delusional if you think Reds are draining the economy and Blues are saving it. If we actually split, the blue side would instantly become communist (because there would be no conservatives to push back against it, and the youth would usher it in because apparently it's now bad to be anti-communist according to them), and no communist economy has succeeded except China, who likewise went through their own massive economic failure before buying politicians in other countries and sabotaging governments for their own gain. Meanwhile many capitalist societies have boomed. Look at North and South Korea, for example. Which one is prospering far better, and which one is gating all their citizens inside and holding their technological advancement back a century? Which one is operating like America, while the other is lacking for continual running electricity and water, while the government is listening to all its citizens in their homes? No one who has actually seen both sides wants anything to do with that kind of government. It's why Yeomni Park escaped to the US, and why the North Korean government put a bounty on her. For having the audacity to leave the country.

I didn't say what I think, I posted facts.

But hey, I'll play. You go post figures indicating otherwise for Red and Blue States, I'll wait.

You don't even know why China and other countries are prosperous. You should look that up too.

China is successful because Xi learned from his dictartor predecessors' mistakes and ran a smarter economy. Since America runs on a two party system and no one has full control, it's easy for enemies to swoop in and sabotage economic operations, which would never happen in China bc of the dictatorship. This does not mean we need to switch to a dictatorship (however, I do believe the two party system is also unhelpful bc no one can see past the parties anymore - arguments boil down to "My side good, your side bad.")
It means Americans need to take responsibility for the freedoms they have and learn actual history so they can avoid mistakes done from the past. In China, anything that might question their government is banned. They banned an MCU movie bc for a fraction of a second, a newspaper was shown in the top left of the screen and the newspaper is run by anti-communists. They banned Uncle Roger (an Asian comedian) bc he made fun of the government. Nothing that might make you question the Supreme Leader is permitted. None of that happens here, but we take it for granted. Our country was founded on the principle that self governing people should be free to pursue their dreams and live life to the fullest. The problem now is our culture is full of people who cannot self govern, so the government fails, and then communists come in and claim that since the government isn't working, you should try their system instead, when they're half the reason people can't self govern in the first place.

The reason I'm saying any of this is because if the American public knew half of what economics even is, we'd be far more successful than China still. Since we don't, we have people voting for terrible policies and people who print record money and then send billions to help other countries (or simply just self sabotage) while our own people are starving and suffering. If people weren't trying to actively implode our economy we wouldn't be in this mess. And if the public knew how ppl affect economies, we wouldn't vote these people in.

You do it first. You didn't do anything but post claims.

Yes, I do know why. They allowed a free market and stopped trying to control pricing, which makes them the first communist economy to di that. Meanwhile communists here have been deliberately affecting pricing and not letting it flow naturally so our economy will implode because we are the only country that is a threat to communists' goal of world dominance, so they've been trying to take us down for nearly a century at this point. They're not the only ones doing this, however. We have farmers here that are so wealthy and influential behind the scenes that they have their pockets in both parties (and they can order them to force change pricinh), and if either party were to disobey them, they'd withdraw their support, which would hurt the party so bad that the other would dominate all future elections. So neither Republicans nor Democrats want to stop prioritizing them over the American people - lest their party lose control of the government.

Oh, that's easy, just look at Red States and compare them to Blue. There's a glaring pattern that goes far far back.

Gas averages well over $5 in Gavin Newsom's territory... it averages around $3.60 for the remainder of the country
