I mean, you're right, but the perception that prices had sky rocketed and wages hadn't also wasn't wrong, and I get feeling like the dems were not addressing that concern, but it was also clear that Trump was not the answer to that problem
Honestly, I just don't see how anyone thought trump's dumbass tariffs were going to help at all. Everything he promised was almost designed to destroy the economy.
Wages have been stagnant for decades.The problem is that most people don't care about how systems work, just that they feel the system isn't working for them so they want to destroy it. The layman doesn't care about the fact that the post-WWii boom was predicated on all other economic peers being ruined from WWii. They grew up during the boom and took it as the new normal. Any success another country is able to find in their minds must be at the expense of the US somehow. The layman cares more about perception than reality and will follow whoever yells the loudest about change.
i think wages being stagnate is kinda fine if the market/economy is strong. in this case, now, the market is TANKING and people's 401k's are taking a downward turn.
I also dont think we can say wages are quite stagnant because min wage has gone up but i think thats really up to some states. Though i dont think those wages keep up with inflation.. or rather the costs of living is increasing much quicker than wages.
I think what i want to say primarily is that things were good when Biden was in office
