"The US economy of 2021-2024 was historically bad and shitty" was a huge coordinated right-wing propaganda campaign. Propaganda works. Many who shouldve known better helped the campaign instead of fighting against it
What is behind this gap? It’s the information economy, not the real economy:
Media use, talking partners, & partisanship. This is what drives public opinion on inflation, recession, & the direction of the economy. Personal financial situation matters, too, but these things matter just as much, if not more.
