The majority of Americans who voted, at least in the swing states, have voted for the republicans. Why? Do the republican policies reflect popular opinion? Or is it that their vibes are more aligned with the public? Or maybe people are worse off now than they were 4 years ago and are hoping to turn back time? As a non-american I don’t quite get it. People must think their lives will materially improve under the republicans, but why?

    Right? Dems yelling “The economy is doing great!” when groceries and rent are both impossible was just dumb as shit. Unfathomably bad decisionmaking.

        Yeah idk how rank and file dems can be saying “These dumb plebs don’t understand how good the economy is!” when the economy is milk, bread, eggs, veg, and meat for 95% of the population. You can’t tell someone who isn’t a deeply brainworms economics wonk that they economy is good when they went from eating out a few times a month to eating beans a few times a month in the course of two years.
