[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you hate Trump, you are more likely to have the feeling that the economy is doing poorly. This thread is all about how you guys feel vs reality. [/quote]

of course, and if you love trump you're more likely to feel that the economy is doing well.

it was the same under biden, when economic indicators said everything was very good, but political sentiment was able to convince people it wasn't. now it's the other way, by objective measures we've always used, the economy is deeply troubled and potentially heading towards a bad fall, and political sentiment is making some people feel like everything is fine.

The difference is that when the economy is going well, it's not easy to convince people it's doing poorly, but it's also not THAT hard... people always want more than they have, and so people (as they did under biden) will go, "Yeah, it's true that I have a well-paying full-time job, benefits and so does my wife and my company is hiring, my mortgage is paid, I own my car... but it's a three year old car, and I can't afford a new truck! And everything is SO expensive! My kids want to go to Disney, but that WOKE POS company has jacked up the prices! Meanwhile, my boss says he's desperate for more immigrants to fill the vacancies -- why can't those jobs go to HONEST Americans? I can't think of anyone in my world who is unemployed and looking for work, but it seems REAL unfair that my boss wants immigrants for those jobs when REAL Americans can't get a second look when they put in their resume! This country don't make sense!"

Trump fans can tell themselves everything is going great all they want, but when they can't get a job and everything actually IS expensive, it's much harder to avoid.

Of course, they'll just blame Joe Biden.[/quote]
