Let's see if it was really about prices.

Trump promised to lower prices "on day one" and lots of people voted for him because of that. Or so they said.

Prices are going to soar, so all Trump's supporters should turn on him, right? Let's see.

Or was it always really about racism and being mean to people?

1. It was both.

But now they’ll excuse the price increases because he’s doing a great job!

[yardwork]

2. So being mean to people edges out prices as a priority?

That tracks. Higher prices are the admission they willingly pay to watch the carnival geek kill people.

7. Yup. (n/t)

3. The NYT will always make excuses for MAGA racism.

4. Some will turn on him with the emphasis on some.

It's amazing what lack of money will do to some people.

5. I Think Racism Mainly.

However I heard a lot of folks say they're voting Trump because he would be better for the economy.
Go figure!

6. Voters said that they thought Trump would be better for the economy.

Clearly, he's not. So I'm curious to hear what the people who voted for him will say now.

I suspect that many will still be fine with what Trump is doing. I don't think it was ever about the economy for a lot of them.

8. I have a feeling they'll turn into grocery martyrs, not admit Trump broke his promise and failed miserably.

Seeing Trump voters on TV saying this is not what they voted for but would vote for him again...

Also, I'd love it if those going around lying that Democrats never talk about economics and are just like out-of-touch elitist Trump not knowing what groceries are, a bag with different things in it (except the bag must be a REUSABLE NPR TOTE BAG), would shut the fuck up and go haunt third party forums already.
