> But this isn't the 1970s. The inflation was present but not double-digits. It peaked two years ago, and has been under 4% for over a year. It's close to 2% now. These just aren't throw-the-bums-out numbers. For most of the less-well-to-do populace, "inflation" is not some official number published by the government. It is what they experience, in their own lives, when trying to make ends meet every week. In my part of the US (Michigan), many monthly apartment rents rose by more than 50% during Biden's 4 years. Between the already-too-large fractions of their incomes that were going to rent pre-Biden, all the other price increases they were seeing, and Biden's conspicuous lack of interest in them and their plight - those folks had, from their PoV, excellent reason to throw the bums out. And they did - Michigan's 15 Electoral Votes went to Trump.
