Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris because voters who were concerned about the economy did what they often do—punish the incumbent party during the election.
If you want real answers lets unpack why the Democrats messaging was to insist the economy is doing well when people have stagnant wages and have to spend more of their income by percent on food and housing. Everyone I know who makes about the same as me is completely unsurprised by this election, but the ones well off enough to believe the party line on the economy are completly shocked. This is the disconnect the dems need to address.
I think the idea is “he promises change, when she says there’s nothing to change”. He’s lying of course, but they hear him talking about an issue (without offering any reasonable solution) and threw their support behind him.
When I saw him talking, he only seemed to be telling boring stories about himself or doing his usual rants about his personal vendettas against others.

Because the objective, non-partisan facts suggest the economy is doing well.
Well for whom? Because it seems not the voters.
I don’t get it though. “My wages are shit, so I’ll vote for the hyper capitalist oligarchs who will make sure my wages stay shit”.
Punching oneself in the face is not the cure for a bloody nose.
