Dems push all this because they have contempt for those they “serve”. You have to be righteously screwed up in one way or another to vote “D”.

I don’t doubt those numbers. But the average voter doesn’t care about any comparisons. He’s concerned about the here and now. He concerned about the numbers on the grocery shelves and on the gas station signs today.

This is goin to be a thought nut to crack because the election is so close.

Someone on another thread mentioned how the Democrats are closing refineries. And doing other things that make energy more expensive. Perhaps that should be emphasized instead.

These evaluations are on what base? If it is Trump based upon what Biden left us it is NOT better.

There are other things Trump has done that are definite improvements; arguing the affordability narrative is a trap.

If a tree falls in the forest. We have got to somehow get this news out to the voters. The media is not going to report on all this economic good news. All I hear ABC Radio News talk about every day is the cost of gas and diesel.

I am not worried about legacy media.
Right now social media like X, YouTube, Tik Tok etc count far more then legacy media, and are far more influential.

Of course they do.
Look at the comments on X.
Are there some Democrat paid trolls?
Yup, there always is.
Are they in the majority?
Nope.

I know my life is better under President Trump. People involved in fraud, crime and everything else I hate, I’m sure they feel differently. Conservatives/republicans will not vote for democrats because of the price of gas. We had 4 years of that democrat shit show. We are much more safe under this president, and that matters.

Legacy media is still effective reaching voters who really don’t follow politics.

The problem is in real life you have to add those 2 numbers together.

Sleepy Joe’s 12% inflation never went away, Trump just added 4% on top of it.

Braggin’ it didn’t go up as much as Biden is not a winning argument. It is still going up.

Saw diesel at $6 two days ago here in Central Texas.... glad I don’t run a diesel.... still don’t understand why it’s $2 higher than reg. unleaded as diesel is one of the first things processed from crude. Want prices to come down then ensure diesel is about 10 cents higher than reg. unleaded.... like it used to be. Greedy bassturds.

Why are car prices going down? I don’t drive, so I don’t go to grocery stores anymore. I didn’t realize hamburger was so expensive now. My son was telling me current prices at McDonald’s and holy cow! FYI: I have no idea what a ‘holy cow’ is.

That’s always been the case with every president, so president’s are judged by their own inflation figures, not what the previous president’s inflation was.

” It is still going up”

Almost always does as far as I know.
Only exceptions could find:

Grok:

Periods of negative inflation (deflation)According to data compiled by MeasuringWorth (using CPI annualized growth rates by presidential term):

Harding/Coolidge (roughly 1921–1924): -3.89% average annual CPI change.

measuringworth.com

Hoover (1929–1932): -5.50%.
