3. The free hand of the market
Mon May 4, 2026, 06:38 AM

This used to be a Republican talking point. They couldn't do anything about X because of the " free hand of the market" economic theory. They used it to absolve their failures for making life affordable.

I notice they stopped using it a while ago, probably because it stopped working and moved over to blaming immigrants, trans people and democrats for all of their problems.

Distraction works until it doesn't.
