IMO, it was more what have you done for me lately. No denying prices are up, Trump touts they are going down, as in the percent increase. True, but the “voters” expect them to go back to before Bidumb was president. Not going till the dollar begins going up in value and we get rid of the free loaders that bidumb let in. One other thing that works against DJT is consumer debt.
Most everyone is tapped, bad, worse is they cannot get more debt and have to pay 20+percent on their current debts. A similar measure is the car business. Many are so upside down on their car loans, there is no way to buy another car on finance. So, what we have is prices going up, even though much lower than before, stagnant wages due to illegal immigration in the most part, and reduced discretionary spending. IOW, everything seems unaffordable i.e. I have no spare money.
It’s completely unrealistic for anyone to expect prices to go back to pre-Bidenflation levels. That would require massive deflation, which usually only happens during severe recessions or depressions when the economy is in freefall. And wages are in fact going up, not stagnant, so if that trend continues esp. as the rate of deportations continues to increase, it should help with the higher prices.
At any rate, although not everything has gone down across the board, my grocery bills are consistently lower, gas prices are down considerably where I am, and my car insurance company recently mailed me a check since they lowered their prices after I’d already paid. I hope more people throughout the nation start noticing similar things and remember how much worse it was under Biden and the Dems with prices constantly rising through the roof then.
Electing Democrats to deal with affordability is like hiring the arsonist who burnt down your last house to protect your new house from fire.
