I'm cheering for the price of everything to soar so that it hurts if that's what it takes to wake people up. I think it would hurt mostly the MAGAs who are the ones who can't afford to pay the outrageous prices for everything. They worshipped this orange waste of skin and breath, so let them follow him to his demise and theirs.
