Funny thing is we saved ourselves from 2008-style economic collapse with stimulus, which partially caused the inflation here but also caused it in all the other countries. But nevertheless, all their incumbent parties lost over it.

When you get punched in the face, the first thought is not who else got punched. Of course ppl will vote based on their own recent face punching. "I didn't get punched in the face when the other guy was president"

> Inflation was global, and the USA navigated it much better than other Western economies.

This comes across as very out of touch. By "navigated it" you mean brought inflation under control. But it's not like prices came down.

The $1,500 per month grocery bill that was $1,000 in 2019 is still $1,500.

People don't look at the CPI and think "phew, glad the Fed was able to get inflation back to target" they think "I remember when I used to have $1,000 left over each month".

And they remember that every single month.

It is astounding how many people don't get that.

Also how many people blame it on Biden while giving Trump credit for Obama's work.
