    1. “Wicked for Good” explained it pretty clearly. Once they buy the con, it’s almost impossible for them to let it go.

      Trump has 31% approval on cost of living, and still dropping. Minus the cult, people are taking note.

    3. One useless man is a disgrace. Two useless men are a law firm. Three or more useless men are a Congress. Quote John Adams in 1776.

      I blame Congress – They are the ones that allow a disgrace like Trump to exist.

    4. They didn’t seem to have any problems blaming the Biden administration when the US economy, and there was no other economy even close, emerged from the pandemic rapidly without massive job losses. This is what makes me fear for the future of the republic. Common sense and the reality of what is clearly before us has been eradicated. Half of this country are cult members. Hive mind is not science fiction, it’s MAGA.

      Trump voters probably have a greater awareness than most Muricans that the Fed’s deranged money printing is the #1 cause of surging inflation.

    6. PPP Loans and Trump checks during COVID caused the skyrocketing inflation coupled with panic buying and supply chain issues . It seems most Americans cannot make that connection.

      When the new fed chair steps in, I have a feeling we will be printing again and we will see another skyrocket in inflation this decade. . . just in time since “Quantitative Tightening” ended. With our debt and tax level, if we really are getting “Tariff,” “DOGE,” or “Healthcare offset” checks, the Fed will have to print again. However, I don’t expect inflation to be reported anymore with the current administration.

    7. In a ‘K’ shaped economy, those with assets on the upward stroke don’t feel the pain. That explains the 31%. Everyone else on the descending stroke does.
