Inflation coming out of the pandemic was global and inevitable.
Frankly , the admin managed it extremely well to have a soft landing and. No recession
How does the infrastructure and chips bill increase inflation ?
I mean the election winner wants to inflate prices with tartiffs .
So let’s not pretend it’s a driving issue for voters
Man, I disagree 1 million percent. Had there been 0 or very little inflation, I think Trump loses. I get what you are saying that most people didnt vote based on policy positions but people blame Biden/Harris that their grocery bills are higher. If there's one reason Trump won, its because of that. People are pissed. And they arent smart. They dont understand that Biden didnt cause worldwide inflation and many truly believe that Trump will somehow lower their bills in January when in fact, he is basically telling them to their face he is going to make things they buy more expensive through tariffs. There's signs in people's yards: "Harris, high prices, Trump low prices." You cant make this shit up.
If there's a #2 reason that Trump won, its the "Manosphere." All the bro podcasts. While the Dems werent paying attention, somehow there are like 20 highly viewed bro podcasts who men age 18-40 watch MUCH MORE than Fox News, CNN, MSNBC. Joe Rogan and Logan Paul are their news sources and these bro dudes love Trump. Ironically, the Dems have a media problem in reverse because they lost a generation of men to the bro podcasts.
