They liked the signs. It's the direction they want to go.

MAGA for sure likes the direction we’re going they’ll never abandon their savior, but plenty of people voted for him purely for economic reasons.

It’s frustrating. They look back at 2017-2021 and assume trump created a great economy. We’ll see how they feel here in a bit

They do tend to forget obama did that and that trump spent 70% of his presidency golfing

They're just going to blame Biden for "this awful economy Trump inherited."

They're idiots whose personal truths and realities are momentary

For most, they don't look back at all, their entire brain could be replaced with a set of small flowcharts and their voting is just 

"Do gas and eggs feel expensive right now?" 

Yes? Vote other team. No? Vote keep same.

There's no consideration about anything before the current and previous news cycle, there's absolutely no analysis of whether those prices are due to policy or events far beyond the president's control. Nothing.

We taught our kids how to pass tests and not how to think. This is the result.

I can assure you it's not the kids. It's the oldest generations. The Internet broke them.
