It’s not a mindless sort of belief - they want to believe. They’re believing as hard as they can, because the alternative is ruin.
And this will only hurt them more, prices are just going to keep going up. Anyone who waits that extra week is paying more than anyone who already bought what they needed. The people who wait the longest will be hurt the most.
For sure, people who didn’t plan ahead are now basically screwed. They were hoping prices would come down, but instead they just keep going up, and if they can’t afford current prices, they’re not going to be able to afford higher ones down the road.
While polls are likely BS, supposedly 90%+ of Republicans support Trump, in what can only be believing what he says. Even though farmers benefit the most from free trade, and immigrant labour for that matter, they seem to keep voting for him.
People treat politics like sports until there are clear personal consequences for them. The problem is that most people don’t really connect government policy with the goings on in their daily lives. They treat it as an abstract team sport that happens on TV. But when you get an economic crash as a result from a war, it becomes hard to ignore the causality behind it/
Is anybody dumb enough to still listen to whatever comes out of Trump’s mouth though?
