Well the verdict is in. Despite 2 years worth of dire warnings from political advisors who knew better, the Democrats absolutely refused to recognize the problem of affordability in the general circumstances of the median income family. Groceries are a uniting issue.... People of all backgrounds, races and political affiliations have to buy groceries unless of course you're part of the 1% who hire other people to do that sort of thing for them.
Telling people who walk out of the grocery store in frustration having spent all they have and still not being able to fill the larder that they're too stupid to know the economy is good is a very poor strategy. It pisses people off royally.
When 80% of Americans are suffering existentially threatening finances day in and day out, how much does it help to stand there and beat your chest proclaiming that you are comfortable and financially stable and simply do not understand why other people aren't in the same condition? This is the definitive social identity most accurately described by the word "asshole".
This obtuse position is similar to standing on a shore watching a person drown 20 ft ahead of you while telling them at the same time " I don't understand why you're drowning.... I'm not."....
Donald Trump didn't win because he's a genius..... He didn't win because he's a nice guy.... He didn't win because he's a suave and erudite speaker....nope none of those. He won because he listened and responded. Why the hell is that so difficult?
