    It really is ironic how it feels like Republicans got things done over the past four years, even without formal power. Biden definitely got a ton of good stuff done, but they were awful at presenting it to the public as wins.

      No amount of presentation can fix food and housing still being waaaaay too expensive.

      Dems saw the contest was uphill and decided to try and ride on a sled. The GOP at least had a bicycle.

        Well, with the hope that the GOP can “fix” an already good overall economy comes a lot of crazy policies that people will have to deal with in many other policy areas. But people chose to be single-issue economy voters and will now have to live with the insanity of all the other policies.

      Probably because despite what they claimed to have passed, we are still struggling while they are telling us we are not

        They are talking macroeconomic while you’re talking microeconomics. Two different things. But perception is king. If people feel poor, even when they are not, then the are poor. Turns out they will vote accordingly.
