Conservatives love to trot out pet talking points and half-truths to support their arguments in favor of all sorts of agenda-driven politically extreme positions. The one I like the most is about how "the Democrats" caused the Great Recession because Democrats signed the legislation that deregulated the banking and housing industries.
This "fact" is used to support the "conclusion" that the financial collapse of 2008 was somehow deliberately perpetrated by Democrats, thereby alleviating all the guilt from "false accusations" by liberals that that poor mistreated Republican President George W. Bush had anything to do with the whole thing. He was just a victim of circumstance, you see.
