    Yes, a majority of US citizens are dumb. The average American experienced 3 years of retaliatory price gouging that was mislabeled as “inflation.”

    Why was there retaliatory price gouging? Punishment for not voting in Trump in 2020. Big business wants more de-regulation; so the next time the vote doesn’t go in their favor they can do it again.

    What enables them to do it again? Republican policy.

    We’re in a vicious cycle of stupid now, which again, was by design.

      I don’t think the average citizen of the USA is dumb. People looked at what Biden did for the last few years and that didn’t help them. The Harris campaign would have done better if they had taken more stances that were different from Biden. (I can say this confidently now that I know the results of the election, I wouldn’t have said it a month ago.)

      I also don’t think there has been “retaliatory price gouging” as you say. The cost of production and distribution is always increasing, it’s why there is inflation. I don’t think you can find any actual evidence of price gouging because of Biden.
