Probably still inflation. Just because the rates are lower now doesn't mean prices have gone down. Unless people become used to things costing more, businesses decide they'd prefer to make less money or supply explodes, or morons realize that it wasn't caused by Biden turning up the economy dial labeled "GROCERY PRICES" it will probably be possible to blame it on the Democrats. Even if prices do go back down Republicans can just say they didn't and no one will question it, like that annual Thanksgiving dinner cost thing.

I think you're certainly correct about this but there are still reasons people might vote against Biden. It's harder to conceptualize the chain of events and timeframe here leading to more money in any given voter's pocket versus some detail-free and simple promise Trump could make (and break). People could claim that if Biden was going to do anything he would have done it his first term, ignoring the roadblocks from Congress. They might just not believe it, since there's a lot of anti-union/labor propaganda. Also they could attack Biden's record here based on that railroad strike. Maybe they're just dissatisfied with cost and think any change is a good change or things were better for them when Trump was president regardless of cause and effect.

I guess the point I'm making is that Democrats and everyone who wants Biden reelected should be prepared to convincingly make that argument, assuming voters can be convinced by words nowadays. It probably would be counterproductive to go with a Clintonesque, "that's just what the prices are now after my presidency and you have to pay them at your current income level or get a better job as a computer programmer."

Yeah, the death of Trump's mother-in-law was really devastating, really made him dwell on his own mortality

...mainly because she was only a year older than him

there's nobody who can rally the chud base the way donny t has. it took him most of his life to get the mythos to manage it. we basically saw Vivec try the strong daddy bit this time around and he fell flat on his face with it. sure, the fact that he's not white didn't help, but self-effacing PoCs have worked their way into alt-right circles before. the utter REJECTION of Vivec by EVERY chud told a deeper story, imo. they need to believe you're actually invulnerable. that is a long-tailed scam.

the only other person who has been trying to do that in the last 10 years is Musk. Musk has legit been working on his invulnerable genius mythos since the late 90s, and he has a story that could easily resonate with the chuds in that he's been "screwed over" by a bunch of non cishet minorities but he's still standing! he's still here! oorah!

unlike donny t, however, musk has had a lot of much more public failures that crack the mythos. and, even if he does shake off all those failures and become the next messiah of chud-dom... he's not a natural born citizen of the USA, so he can never run for president. at absolute best he could become governor of, like, Texas.

Johnson reported in a dark, unknown place. Said it smells like butt and ketchup. Apparently was not where reporters last spotted him.

Tweet text: Kevin O'Leary, "Mr. Wonderful" went on CNN and absolutely DESTROYS Letitia James' case against Trump:

“Every single real estate developer everywhere on Earth does this…Who lost money? Nobody! If you’re gonna sue this case and win, you gotta sue every real estate developer everywhere...so I don’t think this thing will ever survive appeal…This doesn’t even make sense.”

Speaking of which, anyone watching the current season of Fargo? It references Trump and MAGA a fair amount; Jon Hamm's playing a character who is basically a cross between Joe Arpaio and Ammon Bundy.
