    To average people, it makes no difference to them that inflation is back to normal when the price impacts don’t go away.

    The price impacts were never going to go away! It infuriates me that people were dumb enough to believe this! It’s not how economics works and it’s not something the government can control!!!

      It’s totally irrelevant whether or not these voters understand the underlying economics. What they know is that they can’t afford to make a car payment and buy groceries anymore, and they know that the Democratic messaging is totally inadequate and out of touch. If your political strategy requires voters to understand the underlying economics realities, then you damn well better be telling them what they should know.
