re: How did Dem survive 9% inflation + $5 gas in 2022, while the GOP lost both chambers in 26?

I cant recall an election in my adult life where I was less enthusiastic about the Republican candidates
This is twice now that the pendulum has swung fully to one side.. A clear sign that the people disapprove of the liberal agenda and are leaning the other direction. Trump's first term was derailed by Covid, but then the R's win full control again.
What did they do with it? What laws did they pass to secure elections, secure the borders or curtail government waste?. Oh..... none? Well at least they kept us out of meaningless foreign conflicts, right?
Then, as usual, the Republicans canibalized themselves by splitting into anti-Trump "moderates" and pro-Trump 'MAGA' candidates..
Nobody is buying their speeches anymore. Dem voters are energized because they know their candidate will push their agenda. The GOP agenda is to get elected and then immediately ask for campaign money

You guys just really don’t want to grapple with what most Americans see when watching armed and masked Ice agents walk people out of the homes wearing robes and slippers.
Americans are an independent and empathetic people with a skeptical view of authority. Strong armed government crushing people with very little power isn’t something Americans are prone to support.

So much truth in that post

In 2022, half of the democrat base wasn't telling everyone how awful their side was. It was an unusual approach, but it paid off.

Yup even Bird Brain Yellen and JPow said inflation was transitory

Trump voters of all stripes turning their backs on him (and his Congress) for a whole host of reasons that have been mentioned here along with Trump motivating the Left like damn near no one else can. They hate him with an absolute passion. Those two things combined created a blowout. It’s no more complicated than that. Outright hatred, feelings of betrayal and meh did us in.

People who can think beyond partisan lines understand that inflation coming out of COVID was an inevitable consequence that both political parties have some ownership of.
People look at the increases from the Iran conflict as a foolish choice.
It's that simple.

Numbers don’t reflect that.
Republicans voted very similar to 22.
Dems found 20million new votes.

Congrats on letting the DSA win cause you are weak mentally

Maybe people were smart enough to understand we were in the middle of a Global Pandemic, and the Dems had nothing to do with inflation.
It didn't matter who was in charge; it was going to be bad.

why all the ? in your post?

So by that logic, a global crisis excuses the president for high gas and inflationwhich means you're defending Trump for the Strait of Hormuz oil shock in 2026 too, right?
Also, "Dems had nothing to do with 2022 inflation" is pure revisionist history. Even Obama's own economists (Larry Summers and Jason Furman) warned in 2021 that passing a $1.9 trillion stimulus when the economy was already reopening would supercharge inflationand the Fed confirmed it added 3 points to CPI.
You can't have it both ways: either voters "understand global context" (in which case 2026 wasn't Trump's fault either), or voters don't care about context at all and just vote on whatever headline makes them mad that week.
Which is it?

The Iran conflict was a choice, not an inevitability

2022: overturning Roe v Wade
2026: Trump exhaustion for independents, and the youth flipped due to bleak economic prospects

Why did the Strait close?

There is no way you are this retarded.
I refuse to believe you can look in the mirror and say this with a straight face.
You also left out the part about Trump running around for 2 years, claiming he would fix everything one day, directly from his mouth.

Democrats' biggest problem for decades was that they couldnt mobilize their most reliable voting blocs in significant numbers on election day.
Mail-in voting has changed that. One canvasser set up in the lobby of some project tower in Houston/Dallas/etc can hand out free pizza and sign up hundreds or thousands of voters in one day. These are people who would have likely sat on their arse on election days previously
Meanwhile the GOP continues to dump all of its money into TV and radio spots that nobody under the age of 50 even sees
