reading-the-room certainly has its momentary propaganda value; controlling the fleetingness of anything that matters is the fuel for the last decade of trump's existence.

you were adamant that the factual nature of affordability was the key factor for trump, but it has gotten much worse and is now effectively a non-issue. rightwing media is mostly ignoring consumer prices, or asking for patience so other distractions can take affect. unlike 2024, media is not telling people to 'feel' how terrible prices are.
it is amazing how well it works, because living\rec costs are in the faces of MAGA daily !


i have yet to see where the gop has failed on telling the public how they should feel on any topic since covid (which now seems an anomaly). the epstein clamor among gop voters is not peaking, but slowly fading. thus will this kirk phase go poof as a non-landmark (especially via a killer from the right), along with with the killing of actually elected officials.
