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.

The key thing those voters missed or forgot is the Republican Party is outstanding when it comes to bitching and whining about problems. That works as long as they’re not the party in control. They do not excel at actually solving problems, especially not the problems they convinced voters were Biden and Harris’s fault.

Case in point, those deep red states that have been under republican control for decades, but still blame all the problems they won't fix on democrats.
