43. I think their WALLETS will tell them, more than we can shout---

The tiny difference in the 2024 presidential election
(which we only lost by about 1.5 percent in the popular vote)---
was because of economic issues....

Trump won because he was successful in "flooding the zone with LIES"--
ESPECIALLY the LIE that he would 'make prices go down on Day One'

Well, that obviously did not happen, indeed the OPPOSITE is happening...


When people have less money and can't afford living expenses,
they ALWAYS blame the party in power---
and polls show the majority aren't buying their rhetoric against the Democrats!


Meanwhile, with the congressional Democrats FINALLY taking a strong stand against Trump,
I think the polls about the Democratic party will perceptually rise now,
from the low point which they have gone to,
buoyed by an increase in approval by actual Democratic voters,
who have been waiting for this stronger stand against Trump!
