As Carville said, "Its the economy, stupid"
The Democrats declared victory over covid and took away all the progressive policies enacted because of the pandemic. That immediately took healthcare away from tons of people, and plunged many more back into poverty. They did this after taking a victory lap for lifting so many people out of poverty in the pandemic response.
Covid isnt killing as many people but it's still a pandemic virus with unpredictable worldwide waves, but now everyone "middle class" and under are poorer and struggling with inflation. They are also getting sick a lot more often by something that can't be covid, because covid is over, right?
Great job!
But have you considered that medieval kings didn't have TV or a fridge?
But my graphs!
"Majority of Americans
feelare worse off now, than four years ago" fixed the titleThey're gonna be in for a shock when they find out caging immigrants and bombing citizens halfway across the globe doesn't improve this
Here’s a study of inflation that excludes housing, groceries, and energy… oh turns out your eyes are lying.
I can afford more, um, playstations than I could four years ago assuming I don't eat!
me with my basket of groceries that's just caviar I don't know what they're complaining about
The 5 properties I bought back in 2003 are worth almost 3x what I paid for them how can you be complaining the economy is going amazing
Me with gold dust stuck to the corners of my mouth, reeking of pure truffle oil:
Worse off than at the height of the global pandemic? Uh... I mean I know things are rough right now, but I don't know if they're "wondering how many people I know won't survive the year" rough.
The previous poll being compared was January 2020, i.e. predating global pandemic (or at least knowledge thereof).
I wonder how many people even register that 4 years ago was lockdown or if it's just completely blurred out
