I am not rich! I barely make $500k which is middle class!

Plus add the inflation that people complained about. And yet planes are full and Black Friday sales are through the roof. You don’t see Amazon going out of business soon either. Americans continue to buy buy buy. I don’t understand where the bad economy thing came from either. Unemployment is the best it could ever be. Can a social economist please explain what is going on in people’s minds to vote one way when the opposition is true?


Democrats lost the narrative on the economy. Same thing happened in 2016. We are extremely bad at that messaging. All your points above are factually accurate but that's irrelevant to voters.

Yet if you go to Tysons Corner shopping mall right now, it’s an hour to get in and there are lines of people everywhere buying stuff they don’t even need. It’s astonishing how they voted for all the wrong reasons when the reality is clearly the opposite of what they think is going on.


Go check out Montgomery Mall it’s so sad. It’s a beautiful mall and it’s empty. I wish we had that development and prosperity on the Maryland side!! And we’re the idiots that think the economy is great and democrats are awesome: our restaurants are empty. Businesses suffering. Malls are wastelands.
Which side makes more sense to you???? Busy thriving bustling Virginia with new businesses popping up everywhere??? Or blue democratic stronghold Maryland dying on the vine???


I’m at Mongormery Mall. It’s packed! WTF are you talking about?


+1 what are you yammering on about? Your side already won and the election is over. I love in MoCo and our restaurants are bustling. No idea where you're going.

OP I hear you. Airports are always mobbed tons of people flying, busiest Thanksgiving travel day yet, yada yada.

But yes we have to pretend voters wanted Trump because of a "bad economy."

I live right next to Tysons. Stepped out to get pick food out with my kids. It took us forever to go half a mile. It was terrible. Even for black Friday.
