    One reason is that the talk of threats to democracy felt completely irrelevant to most people’s number-one concern going into the election: the economy, specifically the skyrocketing cost of living these past few years: groceries, housing, consumer goods, and more.

    Oh they talked about the economy alright: they gaslit us about it for the last year, and the voters knew it, which is why they didn’t Pokémon go to the polls.
