Subject: Re: A reminder from 2020
They'll conclude that half the country's citizens were unsatisfied with the direction of the economy, driven largely by a rapid post-Covid increase in goods prices (especially necessary goods) and home prices, exacerbated by high interest rates. That, coupled with dissatisfaction over border and immigration policy and a gradual shift of non-college educated working class voters towards voting affinity based on educational attainment (and increasingly gender) rather than race, led to half the voters rejecting the incumbent party and choosing instead to change course.


Wise words as always from you, albaby.

But that's not the entire explanation. Our fractured media is part of this equation. Much of the media, especially on the political right (and I'll stand by that), has chosen to abandon norms of ethical journalism in their quest for a dedicated audience and to pursue political ends they are in favor of. I think a hell of a lot of the MAGA crowd is living in a bubble, much of which has little to do with what you've outlined. Just for instance, a whole hell of a lot of Trump's supporters are absolutely convinced that he won the election in 2020.

Things on the right are far from normal.
