i think they meant that Trump will blame everything on Biden
I get that. I interpreted the tone of the post to be sarcastic. Maybe I've been reading too many Democrat posts on twitter or reddit. Maybe my post didn't need to have the first 2 lines. The second line of my post maybe implied that they support Biden and maybe I interpreted that incorrectly.
The point that I wanted to express is that I genuinely believe that Biden and Democrats are equally to blame for the current state of the economy. The second point I wanted to make is that if Biden or Kamala would have won the election, I believe that they would have made very similar or same policy decisions to Trump. Kamala ran campaign ads that said she was going to be harsher on the border than Trump. Biden/Kamala staffers went on Israeli television to say that they secretly never planned to have a ceasefire in Gaza. Tariffs and anti-China policies are bipartisan. When the media recently asked Democrat politicians about tariffs, they would only say that tariffs should be more precise and not that they oppose the use. I think Kamala would have also placed tariffs on China and maybe other countries.
Another theory I have is that Democrats wanted Trump to win. In much of Kamala's campaign, she did the exact opposite of what she was told to do by polling and campaign advisors. Kamala sent Bill Clinton to Dearborn Michigan to tell the Muslim voters that West Bank was called Judea and Samaria. She lost every swing state. By letting Trump win, Trump takes the blame for US losing global hegemon status, Trump takes the blame for the genocide that Biden enabled in Gaza, Trump takes the blame for suppressing the anti-Zionist protestors that the Democrats also hate, Trump takes the blame for enacting anti-China policies that Democrats also want to do, Trump takes the blame for migrant deportations which Kamala campaigned on doing, etc. Democrat politicians secretly like the things that Trump is doing, so they just sit back and collect donations while he takes the heat. It's like how Roe V Wade was overturned in the first half of Biden's presidency and then he literally did nothing about it because Biden is against abortion.
The plane is crashing and Democrats don't know how to fly, so they let Republicans take the pilot seat.
