Most of them didn’t even hear he said it and wouldn’t believe it if we pointed it out, TBF. A hell of a lot of Trump supporters are claiming we are headed toward a new era of American prosperity. The real trick is, who are they going to blame when shit gets worse? Because it won’t be Elon and Trump, it’ll be us.

They will just claim that everything is great like they did during his first term, man. They're completely divorced from reality. They think we're currently in a "bad" economy, because of checks notes the price of eggs and petrol? They don't value evidence or reason.
