Is this jobs report the jolt that Republicans needed?

One thing that I noticed about Biden so far that has been different from Obama or Clinton is that the Republicans (with the help from the MSM) haven’t been able to gain traction with a fake outrage about the economy or grow an astroturf movement of ‘concerned’ and ‘worried’ everyday American citizens (i.e the Tea Party) about the direction of the country...pretty sure their talking points for the next month will be about this jobs report and socialist’s policy not working,

but 1 month after the Rescue Plan means "socialist policy" is "not working".

I don't doubt that the Retrumplicans will try to sell the same bullshit they've been selling for 100 years, I'm just surprised to see it on DU.

The whole Republican talking points has been that the economy is doing just fine without any more money spent by the government, now they’re going to have to do a 180 on that.Just my opinion probably wishful thinking

I'm pretty sure reality will not motivate them one bit. No matter how many jobs are created, they never change their talking points.

This one is just an easy target that they can use their vast right propaganda machine on.
