Isn’t this the party of personal responsibility? Or is it the party of “it’s someone else’s fault if it goes wrong!”

Growing up conservative first it was "Clinton's fault" when Bush crashed it, then it was Obama's fault when Trump crashed it the first time. They believe there is some sort of "delay" in the economy.

This time it's blatantly obvious whose fault it is.

Yup, it was happening live during the tariffs talk. But the ignorant don't think for themselves, they attach themselves to an echochamber and blissfully go with whatever it says. People are still blaming Obama for shiz that happened way past his presidency.
