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

Half your post isn't even true.
Trump explicitly ruled out amnesty at the White House three days ago ("There won't be amnesty") and just tightened H-1B foreign worker restrictions in September.
Also, "Biden promised to do most of what he did" is comedy gold I don't remember Biden campaigning on 9.1% inflation, $5 gas, and a crashing stock market in 2022.
You still haven't answered the actual question: how did Dems survive 9.1% inflation and $5 gas in 2022, while the GOP got wiped out in 2026 with less than half the inflation (3.7%), a Dow 20,000 points higher, and record household income?

The legacy MSM is virtually a branch of the DNC and DSA.

Enormous disinformation campaign, and of course, cheating. A single example being Alaska

Keep rolling with the “everything is perfect but the voters are too stupid to realize it” plan.

Because voters were not getting bludgeoned 24/7 by every media outlet about the shite job Biden and the Dems were doing.
Also, Elon hadn't bought Twitter yet (purchase was closed the week before the 2022 midterms [after having been dragged out since April].

A nuclear Iran is a better outcome than this previous midterms result. At least as far as America is concerned.

Funny how "ignore your wallet and look at the stock market and wage charts" was literally the official Democratic Party slogan from 2022 to 2024, right up until November 2026 when suddenly macro numbers do not count anymore.
Nobody said everything is perfect.
I am pointing out the obvious double standard. In 2022, inflation was 9.1%, gas was $5, and the Dow was down 8%, yet Dems survived.
In 2026, inflation is less than half that, the Dow is 20,000 points higher, and household income is at a record high, and the GOP got wiped out.
You do not have to think voters are stupid to notice that midterm elections are purely emotional especially from weak minded men like yourself

A week and a half since that beat down and some people still can't understand how and why it happened, even though they have been told why for several months now.

No one is talking about political campaign plans moving forward, they're talking about realities.
Whether the message is good or not is irrelevant to whether its true or not.
You dodging the question pretty much proves the voters are just dumb.
Universal suffrage was/is our downfall.

The stock market is not necessarily the "economy" only part of it.

Abortion was the key variable in 2022 that stopped the red wave

Voters are really fricking stupid and Trump forgot this when starting a war he couldnt win easily and fast.

Abortion became a major mobilizing issue.
The Supreme Court's June 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade.
That happened just months before the midterms.
Abortion was the top issue for 27% of voters, nearly matching inflation at 31%. Among voters who identified abortion as their most important issue, 76% voted Democratic.
This was particularly important for suburban voters and women.
Among voters who identified inflation as their top issue, 71% voted Republican.
In other words, Republicans won the economic argument among those voters. So Dem’s didn’t really care all that much about inflation.
Republicans had some candidate problems.
Several Republican Senate candidates had particularly difficult general-election campaigns:
Pennsylvania: Mehmet Oz
Georgia: Herschel Walker
Arizona: Blake Masters
New Hampshire: Don Bolduc
Some of these candidates were controversial, and some had promoted claims questioning the 2020 election results, which while popular among MAGA, failed to gain hold among the wider electorate.

We disagree on this also.
IMO, Rubio and DeSantis are the top two candidates for 2028. Do you actually think they are going to embrace the MAGA brand? Or run away from it? I am going on record now and saying they both are running away from it.

Republican voters aren’t as mindless as Dems and are much harder to get out when they are pissed at the party for its betrayals
