Summary

President Joe Bidenā€™s economic achievementsā€”lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingā€”are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Bidenā€™s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a ā€œpropaganda problemā€ rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenā€™s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    Conservative messaging wins propaganda battles because itā€™s simple. Democrats canā€™t use the same tactics, because theyā€™ll be less effective no matter what. Preventing consolidation of media and monopolization of media would be more effective, since itā€™s a centrally coordinated effort. Or just preventing anybody from having enough money that theyā€™d even have the ability to do that.
