It's crazy that people believe trumpers when they say they could never vote for Biden or Harris because they ruined the economy. Any moron could see they took the disaster that was trumps spending and see how Biden rebounded our economy better than other countries, but even with those gains on the market and inflation going down, every day people didn't see those effects too much so they assumed the economy must be really bad. It was definitely not the billionaire corporations price gouging people because they realized that they could raise prices and people would still need to buy them to live.
Whenever someone says they voted because of the economy then I just assume they are hiding the real reason, racism and misogyny.
I think you grossly overestimate the amount of analysis the average person puts into the causes of inflation.
When a run of the mill person says they voted one way or another "because of the economy", the total sum of the economical analysis behind that amounts to "I do not like my recent financial situation. President A is in office. So I will vote for Candidate B."
