Summary

President Joe Bidenā€™s economic achievementsā€”lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingā€”are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Bidenā€™s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a ā€œpropaganda problemā€ rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenā€™s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    If things are going good in your life you donā€™t need to be told by someone that it is, you just know it in your bones.

    That simply isnā€™t true. The right propagandizes doom and gloom to their base every chance they get. Many conservatives live very privileged lives and still convince themselves that the country and their way of life is on the edge of oblivion. The wider that propaganda spreads, the harder it is to get anyone to see any of the actual progress in the world.

      That simply isnā€™t true.

      It is. All the ā€œdoom and gloomā€ rings hollow on satisfied ears. There must be a real problems people see daily. False reasons for those very real problems are where right wing propaganda does its work
