Health, I mean that the OP did not answer how he came up with the post.
We need to realize how much people are influenced by stupid ideas. There is an important economic indicator called consumer confidence. It is now down from say 80s to 70s. But it is a mixture: before election 95% of Rs thought things are good and 50% of Ds. After election, 85% of Ds thing economy is good and 40% of Rs do. On one hand, you can say that people are actually thinking and projecting their economic theories ahead, so if you expect better things ahead, you evaluate your current position as favorable. That is, if you are an oil-man and gov is planning to tax your job, you rightfully evaluate your position as unfavorable. Still, the magnitude of a switch is mind-boggling: most people’s wellbeing depends on their skills, family, job and do not change that dramatically from an election.
