      If there’s one thing we learned from the Biden administration, people love it when you tell them to shut up and ignore higher prices

      Of course the American dream is about more than cheap televisions, we also like free elections and rule of law. Maybe try offering those back.

      Trump won last year because he convinced a bunch of independents to vote for him under the guise that he will lower prices.

      This is the dumbest poltical strategy I’ve ever seen it’s guaranteed to piss off the people that were essential for Trump’s victory by breaking his main campaign promise and the White House is telling them they are responsible for increasing prices. Trump’s cult isn’t big enough for Republicans to win elections the blowback will be huge.
