The election was close. I don't believe this at all. It's simply being tone deaf. Not to mention the strong democrat support in the mid terms (when inflation was arguably worse).

The election wasn’t close at all? I’m not sure what you mean by this. Trump won both the popular and handily won the EC.

I’m willing to put money down right now that the next president is a Democrat. Not by virtue of messaging or campaigning but just because people will still be suffering and the dems will be the opposite of the status quo.

Just a guess but midterms probably emphasised the educated vote which seems to have swung Dem recently.

The college educated have been trending strongly toward Democratic affiliation since some time between ‘04 and ‘11, depending on your source.
