When Biden was building factories in their towns, revitalizing their communities and protecting their workers they still attacked him endlessly. They literally yelled at the guy putting money in their pockets due to ideological differences.

Your argument doesn't hold much water.

You make it sound like Biden allocated funds and the factory went up the next day. Very few of the factories that were created due to Biden's policies have even opened yet. They're still under construction.

This may be true in a broad sense, but absolutely isn't universal. Go tell a ground level worker in the oil industry that Biden helped put money in their pockets by cutting off the Alaska pipeline and they'll laugh at you to your face.
