This topic is crushing Dems in the polls
Inflation is a touchy subject for Democrats, who are going to rather insane extremes to avoid that topic entirely.
According to Gallup polling from September, voters most urgently care about the economy and the direction the government is headed in, citing bad leadership as their primary concern. 22% of respondants talked specifically about bad government leadership being their primary concern, while economic issues in general made up 38% of all responses. Furthermore, 48% of respondants polled think Republicans will do a better job on the issues that are most pressing to them, with just 37% saying that they believe Democrats are better to spearhead the initiatives they care about the most. 15% are undecided. While these issues were polled separately, bad leadership and the economy go hand-in-hand. It almost seems like these responses were broken up to keep economic issues from just ruling the roost, but it is Gallup, after all. Even they have to admit things are dire.
Inflation especially is just too pressing for voters. People all over the country are watching their savings dwindle, their debts grow, and their money becoming increasingly more worthless. Holding liquid assets almost seems like pure insanity at this point.
Despite the best efforts of the Biden regime and those of his cohorts in the Democratic party, as well as the institutional left at large, inflation is still one of the prime issues that voters care about. No matter how big a blanket they try to throw over it, it’s a damning issue for the left and they know it. This seems like a no-win scenario for Democrats because the inflation explosion happened on their watch, and ultimately, they can’t pass the blame. That hasn’t stopped them from trying, however.
Remember ‘Putin’s price hike’? While that one was originally associated strictly with gas prices and the resulting fallout from that, it soon expanded to include inflation as well — which is still sitting at 8.2%, even with CPI gerrymandering to knock off that 0.1%. Despite cooking the books by obfuscating the actual inflation rate through utilizing the consumer price index in a shady fashion, the Biden regime can’t escape the hard truth — inflation is surging and it’s their fault.
They also still haven’t admitted that we ever entered a recession, despite them having to redefine what constitutes a recession in order to keep people from saying it. And the economy has gotten even worse since then, with indexes like the S&P 500 falling below where it was since Biden took office, effectively erasing gains he inherited from Trump.
Prominent conspiracy theorist and Democratic Georgia Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has, in my eyes, really won the prize for the most outlandish excuse for inflation. According to Abrams, having kids causes inflation. No, really. And her solution? Abort the poor. That’s right, all you poor people having kids? Stop it. You’re hurting the country. Stacey Abrams said so.
The media sources friendly to the President and the left in general have tried to repeatedly drill into their readers and anyone who will listen that it isn’t Biden’s fault, or the fault of the Dems in Congress who are up for re-election this year.
Politico wrote an article trying to ascertain the true source for blame, and one useful idiot from Harvard named Megan Green saw fit to frame it all in a different light, choosing to spread the blame evenly across significant world events, in an effort to give talking points to their delusional hard-liners who will be on the front lines of social media, spinning narratives 24/7 until November 8’s election day.
“It’s not just the Fed or the end of infrastructure or the exact kind of stimulus or any one single thing. I actually thought the Fed had pulled it off last year waiting for inflation to come down on its own as the pandemic waned. Then Omicron hit China and Russia invaded Ukraine. A lot of this is just very, very bad luck.” said Megan Green to Politico.
Her strategy for taking the heat off the Dems resembles a well-diversified stock portfolio — it has a bit of everything: The Fed’s interest rate hikes, Covid-19’s omicron variant, the Russia-Ukraine War, stimulus payments, etc. Like I said — diversified.
Politico also saw fit to surreptitiously slip the blame in on Trump, naturally, despite the fact that Biden had been in office more than a year by the time inflation truly started to surge. But even Politico had to admit that it was difficult to ascertain just how much of the blame could be passed onto Trump. Orange man obviously had something to do with it, though, according to them. He is the source of everything bad in the world, according to lefty cultists, after all.
They speak briefly about the ironically-named $1.9 Trillion “American Rescue Plan” passed by Biden’s loyalist Congress in March of 2021, a bill that zero Republicans supported, which is probably another thing helping them in the polls. The message about the American Rescue Plan is that it is entirely uncertain what role printing $1.9 Trillion to fund pet projects can have in inflation, as if third grade social studies couldn’t explain that succinctly enough for children to understand it. Of course, though, the “But Trump did this” point is not far behind, stating that the stimulus passed during the height of the covid emergency was under his watch. That is true, but Mitch McConnell was the Senate Majority leader at the time, and Democrats controlled the house then, too. Yes, Mitch is a Republican — an old money, Washington establishment mainstay Republican — making him not far removed from being a Democrat, by that logic. He’s not far removed from South Carolina GOP Senator Lindsay Graham, either, who once called Joe Biden one of the best men ‘God ever created’.
Maybe that’s why Graham did his good buddy a solid and introduced a 15-week abortion bill to incense undecided voters who might have otherwise leaned right. Just a thought.
It’s important to understand the people you’re dealing with before assigning blame on these things, after all. But I digress.
It really depends on which publication you’re looking at, to get the picture on inflation’s role in deciding the 2022 midterm elections. CNN maintains optimism in a relevant headline that promises to explain “ Why high inflation doesn't seem to be hurting Democrats” while the Washington Examiner goes in the other direction, saying, “Inflation could cost Biden and the Democrats greatly”.
The resulting game is the same: Inflation is the make-or-break topic for this election cycle, and the institutional left knows it, whether they want to admit it or not.
