    Yeah that doesn’t work. Making that argument again and again and not responding to the above critique is why Trump won.

      Trump won because millions of people were swayed by propaganda and misinformation.

        There was a lot of propaganda going around, but the Dems decided their message was to be in denial about the economy and to court the Republicans who were too sexist to vote for a woman anyway.

          The problem is the Democrats told the truth about the economy. They said it was getting better slowly over time and that prices were never going to go back to what they were before Covid. People would rather hear Trump’s comfortable lies than face the uncomfortable truth.

            Regular people associate “the economy” with their own subjective bubble. Regular people are dumb as fuck and the Dems shouldn’t pretend like we are a country with free education where people make collected and informed decisions.

            Despite the dems prepping the macro economy to distibute wealth to workers, the workers did not feel that wealth.

            It was a good economy for transitioning us to EVs, bad for affording human needs.
