especially younger people---- we lost those because of "high prices", which were worldwide.

It's hard to craft a message on that issue against a liar who promised "lower prices on day one!"

Now that Trump-flation chicken is coming home to roost...
and everything he has done since taking office is making it worse for him.

I don't expect a "turnout problem" for Democrats in 2026
(see "2018 midterm election results" for guidance-- only a little bit worse for R's)
