That's not true. US inflation rates have been below 4% since June 2023.

Or look at the following chart:

So there was indeed a temporary surge in inflation, which went away due to the effects of covid wearing off and due to interest rate hikes. Since roughly last summer, inflation has stabilized in the vicinity of 3.5%. This is higher than the ~2% from the pre-covid era, yes, but that's easily explained by war in Ukraine, energy markets in turmoil, OPEC production cuts and deglobalization.

That's just the rate, make an integral of the graph and you'll get the absolute increase in prices :D

Trump should actually go full dictatorship when he takes office. America needs a firm hand.

Considering Republicans are only about 20% of the population, dictatorship is the only way they'll ever be able to fully get what they want.

I shouldn't represent it that way for sure. But the number of people who put presidents in office is pretty low compared to the population.

Not all states have party registration. But we can look at voting records.

260 million people over the age of 18 in the United States.

159 million voted for POTUS in 2020.

74 million for Trump.

So like 28% of adults voted for Trump and 31% for Biden.

Total US population is 334 million. Like 73 million under 18, but let's be honest teenagers are at least aware of politics especially social policies. You take the 15 and up population and Republican ideology support is low 20s, dems mid-high 20s.

Most of the country wishes we had something completely different to actually care about.

Most of the countries wish USA wasn't the Sole Super Power of the world.

America was founded on a system that works for the people.
Politics is not part of that foundation.
However that is the path 'the people' have allowed to perpetuate.

So to circle this back around.
A considerable number of 'the people' who voted for biden in 2020 were only voting against trump.
The media ramp to demonize trump is unlike anything ever seen in American history.

There are the makings of a landslide victory for Trump in 2024.

edit: fixed a typo
