Yes. They missed the part where they specifically and repeatedly said they were going to do this. Because American voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.
My sister voted for Trump, only learned after the fact, because of "the inflation" so I asked her how she tough the tariffs would help on that. Her answer? "What do you mean, what are tariffs?" A little too late I send her a youtube video about Tariffs and Trump and she was like wtf. She lives in California, so it's not like she helped him win, but I'm going to keep a tab on her before elections.
This is what the democratic party has to learn. Your sister is a sizable representation of the electorate. They have no goddamn idea how anything works. They voted purely based on vibes. You have to capture the terminally unengaged and uninformed voters if you want to be able to stay in power.
Yup.
In America you have to lie, or at the very least dangle shiny things in front of idiots, to win an election.
Sucks, but it's the truth. Talking about actually policy is out of most fool's wheelhouses. Gotta appeal to their simple feelings.
Ah, because of the famous inflation dial in the US president's office which Biden kept cranked up for shits and giggles. Well known fact.

It also doesn't fuck up life for everyone else on the planet, which is a boon.

FTFU.
No the non-voters are just as responsible for this mess.
And some of the Democratic voters might actually approve of them waving little round signs around while they vote for Republican bills and confirm Republican nominations.
The percentage of Americans who are above sea sponge levels seems to be vanishingly small.
Unfortunately the Trump virus has infected other countries too. I’m really proud of Canada for not following us.
Oh we still have a major fight on our hands. It was a very close outcome and only happened because we burned our number 3 and 4 parties to the ground to make it happen. That isn't really a win. It only buys a little time to get our shit together before this happens again.
Hey, man, don't insult the sea sponge.
