This might be true, but his line of thinking is the reason democrats are going to get creamed in the mid-terms. I tune into Beck and Hannity from time to time on my commute and they've been drilling into their listeners that gas prices and inflation are a Biden administration problem. People vote with their wallets, and they know it.

The sad thing is that democrats are doing their best to clean up a mess that came about largely because conservative action around the globe failed to address COVID properly and we're still feeling the fallout as a result. Voters recognized this in 2020, acted accordingly, and now are angry that the people they elected into office haven't fixed the gigantic clusterfuck fast enough. Nevermind the aforementioned issue affecting the entire globe or on a national level we're stuck with a slim dem majority in the house, and one that might as well be nonexistent in the senate (with two dems who consistently vote against party agenda) meaning congressional gridlock on the regular. (Obstruction as Republican strategy since 2008, I might add) All they can think is shit sucks and so they're going to vote back in the party that fucked it all up in the first place.

It's beyond frustrating, especially since the misinformed guy above you, seemingly the average citizen, has been spoonfed such an effective line of bullshit that he won't even bother to check out a few alternative news sources to get a better understanding of the way economics and politics work.
