You do, unfortunately, have to give some of it to Will Stancil, because the vibes argument is also supported by data at this point. I think it's a classic case of anchoring, where the reason some sentiment indicators break after 2020 is that people want 2019 back. www.jezebel.com/consumer-sen...

I think this strengthens the case for Stancilism.
Immediate post pandemic economy was *weird* in a way that made it hard to compare it to similar years.
But we've got low unemployment and low inflation now. Very hard to make the case that now is worse than the Volcker shock.

it's kind of funny from a economic policy perspective, Bidenomics was actually fairly successful (full employment, IRA + other state-driven investment)
he just... never really managed to figure out how to sell any of it with comms

Pretty sure a president who could communicate well and wasn’t a bazillion years old could have explained to the public why this is Actually Good.

My perhaps naive theory is that the Trump administration and their replicants abroad have misread polling that says people are concerned about immigration to mean the majority shares their slavering hunger for unlimited, gleeful performative cruelty.

It takes a special kind of delusion to tell parents to buy their kids fewer toys and pencils while bragging about building a new White House ballroom and gold in the Oval Office.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
