The "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd sure like to put feelings over facts.
It's really too bad that shaming them for their hypocrisy does nothing at all because they have no shame as long as they feel like they're "winning."
Much like "blood is thicker than water", the saying "facts don't care about your feelings" is misleadingly taken out of context from a larger quote. The actual saying is,
"Facts don't care about your feelings, and neither do I. In fact, I don't care about your facts, either. Fuck your facts, and fuck your feelings. My feelings tell me that I'm right and that's a fact."

30% of US adults voted for trump - that 30-35% mark is probably about the total support that fascists can muster.
And yet people keep insisting the problem is the american people and not the corrupt system that allows minority rule.
Which means 34% are idiots.
Honestly, I don't really trust polls at all. Just like with every statistic these days you'll get a completely different result depending on who you ask. It seems every 2 days he goes from underwater to above average and it's getting pretty old as a clickbait title. I'm pretty sure I read the exact opposite kind result for a poll just last week.
Careful with all that attention you're paying.
Regardless of how many people polled think one thing or another, at what point does blaming the previous admin become an admission that he's completely ineffective?
Trump will LOVE that! People think he’s more responsible than Biden!
Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one, and some stink.
Like, if the current administration came in and made some well-founded but ultimately ill fated adjustments in a good faith effort to improve the economic standing of the average American and yet still things went south, I could see there being a lot more leniency coming from the citizens about causes and blame and all that useless nonsense.
But the fact is, that's not what happened. Whether or not you agree the pre-Trump economy was problematic or stable or improving, the fact is, Trump and his administration literally took a chainsaw and indiscriminately fucked shit up in a self-serving, indiscriminate, poorly planned, and uncoordinated fashion in such a quick manner that it left nobody outside of the inner circle in a position to prepare or adjust. This is what has weakened the economy, jobs, and the financial strength of the middle class and below.
Almost any other administration in my living memory and you could make a reasonable argument that at least some of the first year economic woes are the responsibility of the prior administration, but because of the reckless nature that things were carried out, Trump and his team have earned full responsibility for everything bad. They've fucked shit up so much that even if the Biden administration could be blamed, how could you tell?
Maybe there was already a dent in the driver's side door panel when Trump took over, but given that the car was driven into a tree and then set on fire, how could you tell and would it really have made a difference either way?
57% of those people are willing to tell a poll they disagree, how many are as galvanized against the right as the right is against the left? Are they all willing to say it in person?
Polls like this don't really say much.
That a majority still think Trump is better on economy is outright insane, and decidedly contrary to the evidence.
Edit:
I wonder how the downvoters figure this isn't contrary to the evidence?:
Inflation is just as high now as when Trump took over, while comparable countries have declining inflation.
Trump claimed he would bring jobs back in production, but instead we are seeing job losses.
The economy is slowing down despite the AI bubble. While even Canada is growing by a healthy 3% despite the sanctions by USA, The world economy is healthy, but USA is completely unable to take advantage of that or even keep up!
Trump has increased the deficits a lot, by his extreme tax cuts for the 1%.
With a slower economy and heavy tax cuts, there is no doubt the national debt will skyrocket under Trump.
DOGE was a complete and utter failure, that ended up costing more than it saved!
Trump is increasing cost for Americans on healthcare, undermining a lot of private economies.
What is the evidence that Trump did anything good for the economy? Anything at all!?
This is why nobody believes the legitimacy of polls anymore.
