Makes sense. Under Trump, the COVID stim and student loan pauses, along with reduced gas expenses, reduced spending habits etc., has been the best times economically that a lot of regular folks have had in a long time.

Then Biden Admin came and winded all of that back, slowly but surely, and while he ran on cancelling student loans, for a lot of folks, they're basically being UNcancelled.

And Trump was happy to put his name on every stimmy check so you knew who your sugar daddy was.

Under Biden, we have inflation going nuts, stagnant pay, and economists blaming workers for it and promising to raise unemployment numbers.

Republicans never set out to make peoples' lives better, but did out of necessity during quarantine, and Democrats were too stupid to recognize that and try to keep the good times rolling for the working class.
