General Discussion

I think right now America is under the spell of relentless and instense propaganda.

Biden produced the best economy in generations, but people got convinced by the media everything is horrible. I think the reverse will hold, things will go into the tank and the propaganda will convince people everything is awesome.

I base this on some odd polling I've seen the last 4 years. Polls on the economy and finance were highly sensitive to how the questions were asked. The majority of people would say the econmy was bad and that they were worse off because the economy was so bad. But when asked about their own personal finances the overwhelming majority of people would say, "Oh, well I'm doing better financially and so is most of my family." There was a clear disconnect. Doesn't mean some people weren't struggling, doesn't mean we didn't need to try to help those that were struggling, just means that the impressions of the economy were peculiar.

And I think now people will say the opposite, "Well, sure, I lost my job and my house, and most of the people I know are struggling, but I'm better off in the long run because the economy is so great." People will say that even if UE hits 20%.
