Yall don’t understand because a lot of people here think they’re smarter or just flat out better than them .
Even your post says “do they lack education “ …when that statement can apply to ppl who call Kamala “that black lady” bc they don’t know who she is but support her
Y’all demean those by saying that “lil 1200 dollars “ when to a lot of people that’s a month of earnings if not more .
Yall say shyt like Trump is against democracy or is an existential threat then get confused when ppl question why they should elect a woman president that nobody voted for ..
People doing bad out here and when that happens they vote for ppl
Like Trump. Do I think it’s smart ..nah..but I can see why it’s happening
The problem with the people being interviewed is that they say they were getting money under Trump, when they don't even understand economics at all.
Their premise is that they were better off under Trump, while failing to understand that Trump is a big reason for inflation we've dealt with the last 3 years. Biden has been getting the blame for Trump's mess. Which isn't surprising because Obama got the blame for the economy during his first term when he was trying to sort out Bush's mess.
But they don't know that. Because to them even when the economy was shut down, people were getting stimmy checks and unemployment checks so people were stocking up. And prior to covid, they remember the 2019 economy and give Trump a pass for mishandling covid.
Trump mismanaged covid so bad that the government was forced to spend 6 trillion dollars to keep people afloat. 73% of that money, which is a little over 4 trillion went directly to stimmy checks, unemployment insurance, and small business bailouts. In other words, money directly to the market, the consumer.
At the same time, the economy was shut down, people stayed at home so businesses had extra supply with no demand. So prices were low. When the economy opens back more broadly in 2021, demand goes through the roof cause everybody got money without the supply to match it. The supply chain also breaks, causing further disruption and higher prices since businesses struggled to keep product.
This causes inflation. Whenever money supply in the market outpaces economic growth, you will have inflation. Too much free money was put out there with no way to account for it.
Also, inflation happened to be a global problem due to covid. Some other countries rates made our inflation look like nothing.
Do you think any of them in the video know that? No. Because everything is optics, feelings and surface level with them. This can lead to making decisions based on inaccurate information or misinformation.
This is why we say people need to be educated. I remember talking to a barber in my barbershop who is Trump supporter and said the same shyt these people in the video said. When me and my barber explained shyt to him, he just sat there silently and just said "oh ok".
