Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists?
BombOmOm@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m talking about your average Joe in the middle that doesn’t really follow politics but was mad at things getting more expensive over Biden’s term.
Ah, yes, there are also the terminally dumb and uneducated.
This is the response to people being unhappy prices sharply increased under Biden?
A statement that will always remain relevant: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

No, they arent dumb for not liking price increases. It’s the lack of understanding of cause and effect that makes them dumb, not liking or disliking an effect.
The reason that saying is relevant is because people are stupid.
Of course as with many situations, trump is the exception to the rule: because congress isn’t doing its job and is allowing trump to randomly increase costs by 100% then 50% then 200% then 100% over the course of a single summer, he has had an outsized impact on the economy in a way that no other president has had for generations. And he managed to do it twice, the first time bungling covid so badly that he contributed heavily to the massive inflation we’ve experienced since he was last in office.
