They remember what happened, they elected Biden and their material conditions worsened so they re-elected the guy that could at least be bullied into cutting them a rebate check.
I’m not saying I agree with their assessment but I can understand it.
they elected Biden and right-wing news told them for four years their material conditions worsened and ignored that 1) cleaning up Trump’s COVID mess left America in a much better spot than every other developed country and 2) how they felt about the economy and the facts about the economy didn’t match.
I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying but it’s important not to dismiss peoples experience at the grocery store and when it’s time to pay their bills as “how they feel about the economy.”
The NASDAQ doesn’t put gas in a car or milk in a fridge, that shit is still expensive.
People are free to believe whatever they want. However, the second those beliefs are shown to be factually incorrect, and those people refuse to acknowledge that, then we absolutely can and should criticize them.
You want to believe in Bigfoot? If the thought of a wild cryptid makes you happy, fucking go for it.
You want to believe the earth is flat and there’s some global (lol) conspiracy to prevent people from finding out the truth? Here’s a bunch of videos and articles on why that’s wrong. Oh, you still believe it? Get the fuck out of here.
Americans spent a record $41 billion over Black Friday weekend. People don’t have that much money to spend when the economy truly is shit. The real egregious part of it all was corporations using COVID to gouge consumers even long after the supply-chain issues had been resolved, and the most dysfunctional Congress in US history refusing to do anything about it.
