    Yep, while it’s technically true that inflation is down, people still struggle with grocery prices having basically doubled, so unless you caused everyone’s wages to rise at least as much, you’re just going to piss people off when you say their lived experience is wrong.

    It’s like the people running the campaigns don’t know any regular people.

    Trump is similarly out of touch, but he somehow managed to say things that resonate, mostly because his schtick was always that ‘America isn’t what it used to be’.
