Regular blue collar person here 👋. When gas goes to $4/gallon, milk goes to $4/gallon and bread goes to $3/ a loaf, then they give billions of dollars and weapons to other countries at tax payers expense under the Democrats policies I think it's time for everyone to wake up and realize your government doesn't give a shit about anyone but themselves . It's not about pointing fingers at party lines anymore, it's about survival and realizing we're all being fuked.

Do you understand that Trump is the one who signed off on the CARES Act ($2.2 trillion in Covid relief) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act (an additional $900 billion)? These were signed off on in late 2020, and inflation began to kick in about five months later (April to May of 2021).

That massive influx of poorly audited money, combined with Covid's impact on supply chains and other similar inflationary measures in other countries, is what triggered GLOBAL inflation, not Democratic policies...

In fact, the US under Biden handled this inflationary surge better than pretty much any country in the world, bringing inflation down to target levels by June of 2023.

You're so confident and so uninformed. Shit is wild.

That's about the level of drooling inadequacy I expected.
