I'm sure you are correct but I am equally sure that they (those who voted for Trump) are willing to suffer higher prices for him. At least based on everything (I have seen of the way) media and social media are depicting his followers.
His die-hard core followers, the trailer park Nazis and redneck KKK, yes. But not the common folks who were somehow convinced that blatant lies and fascist proposals from a convicted felon and insurrectionist were somehow more acceptable than a terrible - but otherwise normal - democratic candidate. I guarantee you the latter will not have any patience for prices that don't come down as promised "on day one", missed social security paychecks, their holiday in Yosemite cancelled because the park is closed, inflation and high energy prices.
It certainly worked during COVID. Republicans said they'd rather die than give up their unmasked freedom. Hard to ask their graves if they regret that, though.
they'd rather die than give up their unmasked freedom.
When they said that they meant other people, not themselves. As someone who works in my conservative state's largest ER and only trauma 1 ward, pretty much everyone who died were completely baffled why they were being put on ventilators, including their families.
No one imagines it's going to be them who ends up in the ground, they just want to continue doing what they want do without being told no. I think the big difference is that no one is going to expect other people to pay for their groceries.
