Broke ass republican trailer dwellers who say cost of living is too high under biden managed to get 54 million dollars together in under a day to give to a billionaire.
Maybe it isn't as bad as they make it out to be.
What's happening is the increasing divide between very well off, and barely able to exist.
The very well off can afford the price increases, and can afford to donate, and largely use price increases as a bludgeon politically while not really feeling it themselves.
Meanwhile the younger generations, that are insanely liberal, are feeling it the most and inundated with the propaganda that "the reason you're struggling is Biden". The difference is that a 20 year old has a lot more media knowledge than a 50 year old because they grew up with the internet, versus having it show up in their adulthood. So it doesn't really work.
For example, one of my coworkers pays almost double what I pay on my mortgage, and all she gets for it is a single bedroom. But she also knows how much of a scam capitalism has become and that Biden doesn't directly set prices the way older generations just kind of assume the president does. So she's pretty immune to all the propaganda.
