      I’m just not hypocritical.

      If someone I voted for made it into office I wouldn’t be pissed at them if the economy was still shit 6 months later.

      The one year mark was arbitrary, there’s no set timeframe of course. 6 months is in my personal opinion, which could be wrong, pretty fast for any rate of large-scale change to happen country-wide for anything but the outbreak of war to have an impact.

      It’s the same reason Republicans think they’re system of economics works when the economy is okay going into the presidency of trump but shit going into a new democratic office which needs to pick up the pieces afterwards.

      I wouldn’t blame Biden for what the economy looked like 6 months after Trump left. But I also would not* blame/attribute the state of the economy 6 months into Trump’s term.
