The fight against rising prices has essentially been won. But few in the electorate seem aware.

Summary

President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Biden’s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

      Once trump is done ratfucking the country for 4 years, the dems will get blamed.

      And he’ll stay in office because someone dared to pretend to hold him responsible. People really need to get over the idea that it’s only 4 more years.
