The vast majority of voters don’t ever understand why they’re being screwed by economic policies, they just know when they are.

It’s much worse than that. People just feel like they’re getting screwed whether they are or not.

And they’re too dumb to remember who caused the problems and just blame the other team no matter what.

This is difficult even for experts paying attention because economics is cyclical and policies can take time to show their effects

That's a part of the whole issue, isn't it? People have been trained to disregard (and disrespect) nuanced factual information un favor of political platitudes.

They don't even know that, come on.

And blame the other side lol
