    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.

          Then they shouldn’t lie to people and say that the economy is good.

          Because the quality of life of their voter base has diminished since Covid.
