Republicans give people a narrative and an enemy. Democrats tell people who are broke that they should stop complaining because a line went up on some graph.

I'm not saying that it's rational, but that's the reason. I'm noticing that the murdered CEO stirred up some fun narratives. Maybe the Democrats could work with that. If the dude gets caught, he should run in 2028. Apparently felonies don't matter.

Yeah, telling poor people to "GET GUD" since the economy is great ^TM^ was a wild election move.
