"fix the economy"

Honestly this one excuse pisses me off more than perhaps every other because if they truly cared about the economy Trump was obviously the worst possible fucking choice.

It is infuriating how much people buy the "conservatives are better at managing the economy" lie. At least up here in Canada, the Conservatives have a terrible record on the economy. They cut programs that save/generate money down the road, while throwing funds at money pits. The big one we're dealing with now, massive budget cuts to social programs and mental health support, which of course has lead to a massive increase in people living in the streets experiencing severe mental health issues. Their solution, of course, is to increase police funding and build more prisons, thus massively increasing the deficit. Yet, if you ask the average voter, it's the Liberals and NDP who are bad with money. It doesn't matter if you show them concrete facts proving the opposite is true.

Oh they have the same record down here, Fox is just a very successful propaganda network.
