To weigh in here:
"laziness" is not owned by on side or the other. When voters take an item they heard and just claim it is fact without researching it, THAT is laziness.
Americans used to be more informed, and used to seek truth. Too many folks now just spout "well, this is what I heard" as facts. This is the basis of the Russian meddling claims on Facebook. I mean, "if enough people say something, well, it must be true, right?" Trump is the king of laziness, as he has admitted that he doesn't check his facts, and just says whatever he feels, hoping folks will take what he said as gospel because they are too lazy to look it up. (Example: The Trump vs Obama inauguration crowds; photos don't lie)
Oh, and when the press calls you on your BS? Just claim that they are fake, or claim that you have alternative facts... don't worry, the lazy folks will just follow you anyway.
Hey, there are lies on both sides. It is just right now that the guy in charge wears an R. (He wore a D when it helped him years ago... he changes sides like the wind, I believe that is often called a "flip-flopper" by the right) Both chambers of congress are R. That allows the Ds to critique pretty effectively... "Well, you have all three bodies on your side, why isn't stuff fixed yet?" I mean, we are coming up on mid-terms, and the GOP is worried that they are going to lose seats, and possibly control of at least one chamber of congress. Why? They have not delivered the successes they promised. In other words, even the LAZY people are seeing that this orange guy is just a bunch of hot fetid air.
Me, I am lazy too. I bet on Obama being able to fix the economy (to be honest, I would have bet on McClain too, the economy was that badly trashed) The increase in my portfolio started with Obama and has continued in roughly the same line... Dear Leader is keeping it on the same trajectory, which is great, but the little Orange man can't take credit for it. But he CAN cause it to derail, and a bad midterm (if the Ds take a lot of seats) might cause a derailment of the steady progress Obama got us on. Hence my laziness; should I get out of the market now when it is good (lazy), or get researching quick before November before the crap hits the fan?
One little tidbit on unemployment: It was not an R, but OBAMA who decided to stop the unlimited renewals of unemployment claims. This was a win-win for business and publicity, because after the standard 26 weeks of benifits, businesses were no longer required to pay any more on a claim, helping their bottom line, and those people dropped off the unemployment numbers. When you say that Trump is showing the best unemployment numbers in X years, it is not him, it is just Obama again.
logic and no name calling ... kudos
