And Aldi probably had their eggs for a dollar a dozen in '19. My Target has them for $2.59, (and that did come down from pandemic pricing). If you haven't noticed prices not rising at all over the last 4 years, don't know what to tell you. But you make a point. I can't shop at Aldi because my family is too picky. We "have" to have our specific products, so we pay more, especially when inflation spikes. Of course, you are going to notice gas is super expensive when you are driving an F150. Comparatively, gas feels cheap in a Prius. Regardless of how good people have it, people do not want to have to tighten their belts, especially due to no fault of their own. Should they have voted for Trump directly? or indirectly by not voting? That's another story. We'll see how expensive the eggs get for you when a majority of the agrarian labor force is deported and the tariffs are levied.

Correct. A dozen eggs will never be $1.40 again.

I hope you are right, but excuse me for having doubts. Both Congress and SCOTUS is much more partisan than it was in the past. SCOTUS's ruling on presidential immunity is a direct example, eroding the checks and balances within the Constitution. McConnell's behavior and vote during the Jan 6th Impeachment trial is a second example. Trump's first term in 2016 started with him having no idea what he was doing, so he depended on establishment Republicans who would act as the adults in the room. That term ended with him having fired all of them, and with an attempted coup to stay in power. So far there have been no repercussions to him doing so. So yeah, excuse me for being worried about a potential "dictator on day one" who wants to deport millions of "illegals", would send the military against his political opponents who he has labeled the "enemy within", and to completely purge career public servants for loyalists (are you looking forward to Hershal Walker managing our National Missile Defense?).

It's a cult of personality. Jack Smith and the Judiciary just needs to step on the gas as soon as the election is called for Harris, get him gone. It'll be interesting to see where the GOP goes from there, but MAGA will be dead. Would anyone else be happy with your normal everyday NeoCons running the GOP again?

Iowa wasn't considered a swing state till the Selzer Poll. Thank you for helping to build consensus!
