Look, I know you don't want to hear it, but Trump delivered a direct and simple message for how he was going to lower your cost of living. He delivered it in a way that even someone with an 8th grade education can understand. It's why he won and Harris lost.

Trump's message to white voters was simple: "I will make your life better. I will deport millions of brown people. That will lower housing costs and raise wages."

Now, economists can point out fatal flaws with this message, but that's irrelevant. What matters in politics is he made a compelling case to voters why voting for him would improve their lives. It was an evil method meant to appeal to racists, but it was at least a method. Harris had nothing comparable.
