It's part of the GOP playbook. Damage the economy with tax cuts and other legislation, then blame the Democrats for the bad economy. Their voters always fall for it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) Mississippi and Louisiana can confirm this phenomenon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) My wife has extended family from Mississippi.
