Vote republican, and have a worse life

Blame shifting by the people that they believe they should trust.
"The democrats caused this mess"
"If the democrats were in power, they would do way worse than this"
"This is temporary pain to prevent the democrats from ruining EVERYTHING"

Today, it's American Idol, sports, reality TV, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
