The NRO article that talent posted this morning explains why politicians and their campaign organizers - in this case D candidates and now, Biden - can simply make shit up, throw it on the wall and watch it stick.
My take is that polls seem to indicate that voters aren't buying the alternate realities that candidates want to have voters believe in. Parents aren't buying the alternate realty that D's are trying to mitigate the disaster that was COVID related school closures - they lived it and their kids are struggling to catch up. Inflation isn't the fault of government largess? That it is is pretty obviou. No one is buying that Biden's give money away policies are anti-inflationary when it costs $40 to fill up the tank every 3-5d if you drive to work all week long. Groceries to feed the family? The weekly grocery bill is up and hits discretionary spending in a family's budget big time. Going out for dinner? Forget it. A bowl of cereal will have to do. Biden's tone deaf energy policy will cost family's a lot more to heat their homes this winter and voters know it. Biden's economic policies praised by an obedient leftist press stink of protectionism and will not produce the kind of economic growth he touts.
Per Wiz red wave is coming. Blood bath ...... as it should be. Voters are pissed.
Like many of you I suspect, having just mailed in my absentee ballot in Broward Co. FL, If the candidate was an R, I voted for him/her, including Marco Rubio v. Val Demings. I don't agree with RUbio on a a lot of issues but he's an R. Big picture, I want the R's to control the US Congress, State governorships, the legislatures, county commissions, school boards and the courts. There is a higher likelihood these R candidates will vote my interests and the D candidates won't. Lazy? Maybe. But, over the last several years it has become obvious that the D's are, in general, so removed from the kind of governance and government polies that I might support as to render them unelectable. I will admit, there are some tight wing crazies out there I don't agree with but I consider them less of a threat to my political interests than what the likes of the D left, especially the radical D left, wants to bring to America. To be fair, I suspect most of the crazy ass right and their rhetoric is pandering to a base of voters they depend on to get elected. Once in office, those extreme views will moderate.
