You know what people love? People love it when you tell them their reality isn't reality, and that they should believe you rather than their own eyes/ears and experiences.
The Left and the media are great at doing that, especially when the economy is bad. They'll gaslight the hell out of the public because the reality harms their preferred political candidates.
Here's 'journalist' John Harwood taking his turn being the gaslighter.
It does not go well for him.
the craziest thing about this election is that we have a very good economy -- the best in the world -- and so many people feel/act/pretend that it's bad
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) September 26, 2024
'Pretend.'
No one is 'pretending' they can't afford food.
What a condescending jerk wad.
as always, our economy has problems. millions struggle. inflation hurt.
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) September 26, 2024
the issue is, compared to what
compared to our recent history and the rest of the world, we've done very well at reducing inflation while maintaining growth, raising incomes, and keeping unemployment low
Minimizing the sufferings of Americans because things might be worse elsewhere is really, really astonishingly arrogant.
real (inflation-adjusted) median household net worth jumped 37% from 2019 to 2022.

total US household net worth increased 7.7% from 2023 to 2024. an all-time high.
real median household income rose 4% from 2022 to 2023

Inflation rose faster than all of these things, nullifying them.
Prices have never been higher. Which means the economy has never been worse. It’s that simple

It really is that simple.
But Johnny has to help Kamala win, and he'll do it by dumping on struggling American families.
Seriously, f**k you. I am not fine paying, for one example, $2 for one apple. $8 for ground beef, $4 for bread, $7 for a gallon of milk. I take it you don’t have to worry about this s**t.

Why are you pretending everything is so expensive? John said everything is fine!
She's right -- John doesn't have to worry about this.

Oh, but he is.
You’re not just a dishonest hack, you’re also an idiot.

No lies detected.
If an economy is truly good, no one needs to be told it's good.
— JB (@johnbartle) September 26, 2024
Bingo.
Yeah whiners, stop complaining about your $200-$300 a week grocery bills for two people and APPRECIATE WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR YOU https://t.co/jsEJ9qcvPV

WHY AREN'T YOU GRATEFUL TO BIDEN AND HARRIS?!
Such a delusional take https://t.co/9YPc00HXxH

Putting it mildly.
Real people live in the real world where the harmful effects of this economy are ever-present. Lizard people like John live in bubbles and take manipulated numbers from the administration as gospel. https://t.co/xcAK3HjtR0

Nailed it.
Grocery bills are up more than 25 percent, with the highest increases in eggs, meat, and dairy products, and the worst debate moderator in history is out here saying you're pretending. https://t.co/GarJigTWOX

Johnny said this is all pretend.

Exactly what he's saying.
Shut up, twat. https://t.co/XYHEYhso6v pic.twitter.com/Urv2aL1XcK

Solid advice.
"stop pretending you can't afford your groceries, you poor ungrateful losers." https://t.co/0d017xRuVz

You don't despise the media enough. Not nearly enough.
