It is the ECONOMY.

Exit polls highlight the public angst re the economy. The propaganda about a booming economy was ineffective because the supermarket pressure was unrelenting. The people did not buy the info commercials of the Paul Krugmans.

One head scratcher was the fact that Trump splits evenly the College educated vote.

Ignorance. The US economy has been firing on all cylinders under Biden, greatly outstripping the rest of the world. Not "propaganda", but fact. But you, like Donny's minions, appear to be allergic to facts.

Donny will, of course, like most Repubes, destroy the economy, make the rich even richer, and widen the economic divide even more than it is now. Four years from now, perhaps the MAGAMorons will finally wake up.

The U.S. Economy Reaches Superstar Status
No, really.

Watching a CNN interview with new Senator-Elect Jim Banks (R-IN). He's explaining how the mass deportations are going to work. He's even dumber than the people who elected him.

Well, as Jimmy Kimmel pointed out to the MAGA folks in his post-election monologue (paraphrasing here):

You people are fucked too, you just don't know it yet.

The people (not just Maga folks) say they are not feeling the boom. That is the fact.

The swing to the Repubs is seismic. It is pervasive.
There is a huge disconnect between the economic reflection of the people and the expositions of the Klugmans.

No, that is perception based on ignorance. You really don't "get" facts, do you?

To the rest of the world, the US is a perverted joke!
