    The same people didn’t really seem to have any concept of what trump meant for the economy, or tariffs.

    Its much more of a vibes thing than a knowledge thing. Politics operates on the monkey brain level for most voters, “Eggs expensive, Biden president now, Trump business man, Change to trump” kind of thing.

    They dont look into what the IRA did or was, how our inflation compares to the rest of the world, real wages vs inflation vs buying power, they dont go look at historical examples of tariffs, etc… Its just “Eggs were cheaper in 2019 than now, lets go back to that”

    And I completely agree, Democrats are absolutely dog shit at getting their victories out there
