...and they'll still believe that even if the country isn't on fire because Fox News will make up a fire and tell them it is because of the left anyway. Fox News indoctrinating people isn't a variable that Biden's actions actually changes in any meaningful way.

Refuse to play their bullshit game and do the right thing instead.

Are you seriously suggesting that an economic depression would have no effect on the country's politics?

I'm saying that even if it does, electing the people who caused it gives the people what they want and deserve.

Repubicans do not play fair and they do not care about anything but their own power. You have two options: play their game, which means they win, or refuse to play their game and call them out on their bullshit, which means they might win, but if they do then it will be because the public has been shown the truth and just doesn't care.

Obama made the mistake of playing their game a lot in his first term: assuming that republicans actually give a shit about the country and pre-emptively offering reasonable compromise. The republicans, of course, refused to compromise at all and still claimed he was a socialist tyrant.

What I'm saying is, do not negotiate with terrorists.
