Democrats taking credit for a growing economy is laughable.

Yall KILLED the economy with your archaic reactions & shutdowns in response to covid. You literally stopped economic growth in its tracks so naturally easing YOUR restrictions is going to result in economic activity that would have otherwise naturally occurred if not for YOUR actions.
You're living in lala land if you believe otherwise

This all just isn't working out very well for trump worshippers, is it?

It's a short term circumstance they are exploiting to make themselves look good.

We've had the lockdown thing for a year, masks, government handouts for people to stay home, extended benefits for staying home, small businesses punished where they had to cut back or close.

Now the vaccine is rolling out big time, restrictions being lifted, benefits running out, no more stimulus in our future. Of course the economy is going to look better, not because they did anything in particular. It's just because covid stuff is being lightened up on a lot.

Even if overall the economy is 40% worse than it was this time 2 or 3 years ago it's still going to be a vast improvement over what it was last year.

So who is responsible for the virus getting so much worse than it had to?

No one. You had dem cities and states locked down tighter than a tied water balloon and they got hit the worst. The virus didn't recognize your partisanship. You had loons rioting and protesting all year despite the virus.

The fact remains as outlined in the op

Crowded successful areas with a lot of travel have that problem. Your rural backwaters have done pretty well so far but I'm thinking there may be problems for Republicans who don't get vaccinated now. The brainwashed functional morons.

Just imagine what would happen with the economy if dementia joe had left the petroleum industry alone. That moron was complaining last week about people not going back to work. WOW, when you pay people more to stay home and sit on their asses than they get paid to work, what do you think is going to happen, Joey.

Joe didn't do anything to the petroleum industry. That was Texas screwing up totally and Russian hackers. Welcome to the real world

Bullshit. If you are not aware of all the ways trump refused to take measures to combat the virus when it would have made a huge difference, you are either intentionally giving him a pass or stupid.

As someone in Star Wars might have said, "The Fear is Strong in This One."

I think that everyone understands what is glaringly true. In other words, as the Covid restrictions lift, the US economy is going to take off much like it did after WWII. And the last thing that conservatives want is for Democrats to get the credit.
