The same conservatives who bragged about the record stock market performance under Trump would use use liberals bragging about record stock market performance under Biden as evidence of being out of touch and vice versa. If people actually cared about metrics in a way that would inform their beliefs, they would stop asking for demand subsidies and we'd have a LVT.
