Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

My dime-a-dozen theory is that the shooter was angry about the Trump/Pompeo sellout of his country to the Taliban. 🤷🏻♂️

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

🤘🏽 🥳 I did a couple of years ago, after finding out that they donated to #47's campaign. I haven't been in a Home Depot or Walmart for DECADES for the same reason: their allegiance to Republikkkans.
There's a lot in the media about Target's reasons for an earnings dip; what is consistently missing is the metric of folks boycotting them for their acquiescence to Trump. My wife's favorite store at one time, once where we spent literally $1000's a year, cold turkey. How many other people did this?

A gold-standard NORC poll just dropped Trump to a devastating 33% approval & Republicans are peeling off fast, down 13 points since March. When one of the most credible pollsters in America shows your own base running for the lifeboats, it’s not a “deep-state hoax.” It’s a collapsing presidency.
