The reason that gas prices and inflation seem to matter more to American voters than all the other horrible things our government is doing, is because they are the only things that can't effectively be dismissed as lies or blamed on the party out of power when people are consuming partisan media. They cut through. They don't require reporting that can either be lacking or reframe the issue.
People are misled and taught to see the world differently. We must overcome the idea that some are evil.
