That should be interesting politically, given that Pew polling showed that the top concern for Trump voters in 2024 was “the economy” and within that category, the top concern was “prices”.
The big question is whether they really mean that, and then whether they really notice what’s happening. They may just assume the old false myth that the Republicans are better at managing the economy and double down on their support. Or they may just not want to admit that they don’t care about the economy so long as the government is hurting LGBTQ+ and brown people.
Oh, having whilst in the Finance Industry seen exactly what the Obama administration did in the aftermath of the 2008 Crash, he at the very least tilled and fertilized the fields from were this harvest is coming.
His “save asset holders at any cost and have the rest of society pay for it” approach accelerated wealth concentration, inequality growth and the destruction of social mobility in the US, which amongst other things helped Trump swindle a lot of desperate working class people to vote for him, plus also inflating a number of asset bubbles, most notably realestate.
Just because Trump is even worse doesn’t make Obama a competent steersman of the US Economy.

Don’t worry, nothing will change, it will still be Obama’s fault somehow.
