re: #250 Mattand
I think with some of them, it’s almost a mantra they repeat to assure themselves that they’re still truly “independent” voters. Literally they have to go “Well, Trump openly threatening dictatorship is exactly the same as Biden not magically rolling prices back to 1982 levels” in order to make themselves think they’re seriously judging the issues.
Some of them are genuinely thinking that Trump somehow gives enough of a shit about someone other than himself that he’ll get right on making inflation go away in Jan 2025.
……
Voters not understanding that 0 inflation does not mean that prices are dropping but only that they are no longer rising.
