    Saying this in response to a news story about rising food prices? The high food prices are still being talked about and are still a problem.

    The “The Resistance” logo in the top-right makes sense as only democrats could come up with a dumb line of attack as “food prices were never actually a problem and people were just being told to be angry about this non-problem”. This is the same party that boasted about saving consumers 16 cents for the 4th of July: https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-boasts-cookouts-are-16-cents-cheaper-this-year-internet-isnt-impressed-1606210

    Almost as if they knew of how fucked the inflation would be and tried to run in front of it. That clearly didn’t work, so they tried gaslighting everyone by claiming rising prices are a non-issue. If this is the resistance then we’re fucked.

      Food prices are obviously always a problem. Basic needs are always a problem if not accessible properly.

      Though even as a non American I do notice that there is clearly less loud bitching, fingerpointing and blame getting tossed around. At least not in a jerk agressive way.

      My guess is that it really is because those loud annoying people are trump supporters who now keep their mouths shut.

        Perhaps, but we may also see it brought up again around midterms. Elections are usually when issues that people most care about are brought to the forefront.

      The problem is that before we all spoke of the issue. Now a large chunk of us speak nothing of it.

        The problem is that before we all spoke of the issue.

        The problem is that the biden administration pretended they solved the problem while it was still getting worse, after an administration whose first two years were spent breaking every promise to the left of joe manchin.
