It’s a brilliant piece of stupid propaganda. If the next democratic president tries to bring the country out of depression by undoing these dumb policies, the MAGA folks will claim that they nearly had solved the problem but that the awful democrats stopped it at the last minute before the prosperity would kick in.
Typical cycle. Republican cuts taxes, economy stagnates, gov goes to hell. Democrat has to get more revenue, may need to raise taxes to fix damage, economy picks up. Republicans point at Dem and say he raised taxes and voters get upset. Repeat.
Nah, they are saying short term pain for long term gain. What exactly they are going to gain? Who the hell knows

“short term” = term in office
Long term = next dem president inherits a recession and gets blamed for it
If there IS a next dem president.
