The is demonstrably untrue via the data because States that remained more open during Covid DID NOT overall experience better GDP during covid compared to the States that were more closed.The reason jobs went down is during Trump 1.0 was Blues state governors closed down their economies for COVID much longer than Trump wanted them to. When the governors finally reopened their states the economy rebounded for Biden.
They basically all performed the same and that is expected as the issue was GLOBAL, meaning individualized actions by States or even countries could not overcome the global impacts.
