We’re a dumb, lazy, “I want it now and I want it cheap” country.
if it’s something people desire, they don’t mind paying a hefty price for something like a nice BMW or rolls Royce. If it’s some thing people must have or must pay for, they hate paying a high price for it. Factors outside the democrats control or even their own doing are making people pay exorbitant prices for shelter ( due to a serious lack of housing inventory to go around nationwide), gas ( greedy oil cartel and greedy US companies), and food ( probably being affected most by Russia / Ukraine war and extreme drought in unfortunate areas of US).
All of these things would be going poorly if Trump was in office, but if Trump was in office right now people would be figuring out a way to blame Obama for the lack of housing inventory, the democrats for being “hostile” to the oil and gas industry, and probably Obama again for whatever is going wrong in their mainly simple and uninteresting lives.
