The reason they take credit is the electorate is "stupid". Only corroborates my contention.
But reality doesn't matter to MAGA. An analogy would be to study the debris field of a bomb explosion without studying the actual explosion. The cause of the 2021 inflation began under the Trump's presidency, but MAGA selectively and ignorantly believes Pres Biden enacted an EO bringing the supply chain to a grinding halt. Had Trump been in office another year. he would have to explain the inflation rate, which I suspect he would blame on ... everyone under the sun ... without realizing the actual culprit was how capitalism reacts when the supply chain is disrupted.
The electorate is stupid.
