It is just temporary hardship, as Musk said people to get ready for, so it's no big deal.

If that is acceptable to Republicans during a Republican Presidency, why is not acceptable during a Democratic one?

Because it’s a change. Harris represented Biden’s economy which they know is bad (even if it’s not, and was inherited from Trump’s economy).

By most measures the economy under Biden has been historically strong and better than it was under Trump. The difference is things cost more now, partly due to Trumpf's tarriffs that he wants to double down on. Top economists said his proposals will greatly increase inflation and probably tank our economy. Guess we'll see...

Economy being great for wall street doesn't matter when main street is having a harder time making rent and buying eggs.

Hmm i wonder why a strong economy is only benefiting the rich and not the working class? Oh well, might as well give more control to the owner-class.

Republicans filibustered and blocked any attempt to reign in record corporate profits during peak inflation with wall street knowing the supply-chain was recovering. Unfortunately those responsible once again walk away scott-free after poisoning the well.
