Trump wins the White House in political comeback rooted in appeals to frustrated voters

38. Groceries and most importantly GAS are still high

At least where I live.

What a lot of people in the Democratic party don't seem to grasp"

NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT STATISTICS.

You can give me a hundred well-researched and entirely factual articles about how well the economy is doing, that inflation is down, blah blah blah.

MY ELECTRICTY, the cost to fill my work truck, and what that same basket of groceries cost compared to 2020 means everything, some suck-ass piece by an economist means nothing.

Gas is still insane in Calfornia, our Democratic party here lets PG&E get away with anything they want; the same items in my shopping basked cost a hell of a lot more now than 4 years ago. If you don't consider the foregoing infinitly more important than climate change or social justice, YOU are the reason Trump won.

I can't count the number of times I have read here about how good things are now, how much this or that has come down. Bullshit. the only thing that matters is how much do I pay at the pump, how much do I pay for food, and what does it cost to heat my house- if you (mr/mrs politician) have a higher priority than that, and not just at election time, then I will not be surprised if you lose to an orange fascist,

The current administration did not give the fact that the economy SUCKS for working folks and those on fixed incomes the same urgency it gave other issues; for that it paid, and we will all pay.
