MAGA Built The Censorship Machine It Spent Years Falsely Accusing Democrats Of Building
This is not a unique or new observation, but so many MAGA attacks on others are projection, claiming that Democrats were doing the very things that MAGA always knew they would do if they were in charge.

Average hourly earnings, adjusted for inflation, fell 0.5 percent in August, and were down 0.7 percent from a year earlier. It was the sixth straight months of year-over-year declines in real earnings. Trump and the GQP are a disaster for everyone but the wealthiest.

The last CPI report before the election is out. More bad news for Trump and consumers. 3.7%, exceeding expectations and re-raising the recently easing bets on the Fed hiking lending rates. Personally, mixed feelings about pain for consumers versus "any news that makes GQP lose power, faster".
