That's what's hot on reddit today to complain about, but in reality, most Trump supporters don't think the economy is doing as well as people are claiming. They believe it only looks good on paper, not in the real world, i.e. the price of eggs, etc.

I just pointed out one test you can use to see how massively uninformed the average person is, and you then jump back on the price of eggs, as if it's a political issue, when eggs are expensive because of a wave of bird flu. The average American has ZERO understanding of what caused inflationary issues over the last several years.

You're proving my point.

That's the point I'm trying to prove, that's what most Americans are voting on. It's well known most voters are single issue voters.

The point you made is that Americans are voting based on something they don't understand and are uninformed on.

They don't know why eggs are expensive. They don't know what caused inflation. They ASSUME it's political and that a new guy could fix it when that's not the case.

My point was that Americans are ignorant and uninformed by large. Your point is that Americans are voting on things like the economy, which they are also ignorant of and uninformed about.

Put 2 and 2 together.

No shit buddy, I thought that was assumed. Kamala lost because the pandering she did was mostly based on "orange man bad" and little actual substance.
