Fewer Americans see GOP as better at protecting US, maintaining prosperity https://share.google/XRJ8UWV7pZBL2gXOC
It’s always apparent when they come into power and we suffer as a result, but unfortunately people’s memories are way too short. Once we get out of the mess, too many people forget what things were like and throw us right back into a mess once again.
 
Even if Democrats somehow win back control of Congress and the Presidency in 2026 and 2028 - a tall order to be sure - my fear is that all that will happen is that Fox News & other right-wing media will simply blame them for everything that goes wrong that was actually due to Trump 2.0's bullshit, too many voters will develop amnesia as they did under Biden, and in 2030 and 2032 the GOP will sweep back into power. Of course Democratic victories are vastly preferable to GOP ones, but we do seem caught in a vicious cycle over the past thirty or so years: Republican Presidents screw things up (the first President Bush, the second President Bush, Trump 1.0), a Democratic POTUS is elected and restores prosperity (Clinton, Obama, Biden), and then voters with ridiculously short memories turn right around and elect yet another Republican who screws the economy up again.
