The fact that they are still good friends with someone that actively claims(/claimed) to have supported Trump is damning for that tweetist.
And what am I supposed to take away from this? Cool, they're fine with racism and sexism but the economy is sancrosanct. Who is this appealing to/performing for?
One of the pillars that the republicans keep claiming is that they will sell everyone out for the sake of businesses, and therefore, obviously, they will make the numbers go up better than those democrats that will sap money out of the economy to pay for useless stuff like basic human needs to those that need it.
Now you have a republican president who has:
It was already provably false (going back 30 years, the only prolonged 'numbers go down' have been both of Bush Jr's terms and Trump's second term), the best republican term was Trump's first and it's no better than any democrat term for the past 30 years.
So there are some people who are either fine with the racism and sexism (or don't believe/in denial about that as made up) for the sake of better personal financial fortune, and democrats have never convinced those folks that republicans actually don't have any track record to support that superstition. Trump has at least proven that he isn't good, and worse he is allowed to unilaterally act by a broader party that is afraid to conflict him.
