I think it might be even more near-sighted metrics. If I'm rich and I earn money, that's because of my hard work, not because of government policies. If I'm rich and I lose money, it's because taxes are too high and they stifle my business. So the government should get out of the way and not charge taxes or regulate business, even though those might help business in the long run. Who will help with these problems? Well, both sides, but even moreso on the Republican side.

I hope that people aren't that stupid, but boy, the cognitive biases are quite clear here, and point in that direction very firmly.
