I'm going to just keep spamming this chart. I started telling liberals two years ago that this exact graph was going to be a huge problem for Biden, and they didn't want to believe it. They can chirp about how inflation is low now or unemployment all they want. People have an economic indicator they can check 24/7 from their pocket: their bank account balance. More people at the lower end of the income distribution were keeping more of their paycheck than probably at any other point of their lives at the end of the Trump admin, and now they have less of it than at almost any point of the Trump admin. There's a reason even the GOP struggles to cut Medicare and Social Security despite constantly talking about it: no one likes it when you take money out of their pockets, even the most deranged of chuds. Voters punished the Democrats for not doing enough to keep money in their pockets.
