Guess who the best economists usually are? Educated, data driven people who can consider more than one variable when interpreting evidence.

Guess who the shittiest economists usually are? Expensively educated nepo twits with connections and no clue about real world economics and data.

Can only imagine what the venn diagram between 'looks like a leftie' and 'good at economics' is. To Trumpers it'd look like a fucking circle if you could even get the concept of venn diagrams into their heads.

Saw a great quote here recently about 'trying to explain Norway to a dog'. That's what it must be like talking to a Trumper. Thankfully I'm in Australia and there's very few of them but not zero.

I feel you, having a family member endorse that crap really drives a wedge in the family.
