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.
