I get why Republicans think inflation is a good thing to campaign on, but what are they saying they'll do about it? It made more sense when they were blaming it on the stimulus checks, but nobody thinks more checks are coming, and Trump did the stimulus checks.
Maybe American voters are just stupid enough that saying "shit is all fucked up" when the opposition is in power earns a vote.
Probably they're just doing the usual "inflation happened while Democrats and I'm not Democrats so no inflation under me." This is a timeless strategy and works pretty much every time.
