Ok, so 2026.

Too soon?

Probably not.

It will be interesting to see how main street pocketbook issues that allegedly pushed people towards The Once and Future Cheeto play after a couple years of deregulation, trickle-down, loss of competition in the food sector, potential trade wars, wage stagnation, Musky business, and presumably the cutting-off of a lot of the Biden improvements (free community college, medicare drug price stuff, etc).

Get ready for both sides asking “Are you better off than you were two years ago?” but with different answers.

Convincing people that a decent economy is a sh!t sandwich has to be a lot easier than convincing them that a sh!t sandwich is ribeye steak.
