<<So voters saw their own wages rise, and didn't attribute any of that to federal government action - because they didn't see any federal government action in their lives or community.>>

I agree that investments in infrastructure take a while to register with everyday Americans. But you're forgetting the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. A lot of that consisted of direct payments to most Americans and small businesses as well as money to reopen schools, extended unemployment benefits, an expanded child tax credit, and expanded eligibility and subsidies for health insurance through Obamacare and expanded Medicaid.

And if you've overlooked it, imagine how little it registered on most voters. Sad.
