4. Propaganda is strong

Joe Biden delivered the biggest gains for working people in generations, but the propaganda told people inflation was the only thing that mattered.

So people ignored their own realities and believed lies instead. The lowest 20% income wise saw huge wage growth, far in excess of inflation even during inflation's height. The lower 20% saw bigger income gains than the top 10% under Biden. The lower 50% saw bigger net worth gains than the top 10% under Biden.

I spent a lot of time presenting data supporting all of this here on DU. And I must say, the propaganda had a huge effect here too. People would get legit angry with me for reporting data showing people doing better despite inflation. And they seemed to lump Biden in with the previous several presidents when it came to blaming him for the decline of the middle class. Joe Biden was bringing the middle class back, it was real, it was measurable. That is long gone now, working people are going to lose everything under Trump, and I mean everything!

And in witnessing all of that, seeing people believe BS over their own bank accounts, I am as sure now as I was then, that a lot of people will believe the opposite. They'll believe that everything is great even as they lose their jobs, lose their homes, and lose their savings. And the faithful will stand in soup lines talking about how he Made America so Great Again. And Trump's desire to cook the BLS books is so frightening, because I think things can get really really bad before the people will have had enough.
