Were there any surprises at all? The takeaways from the election results

I’m starting to think that inflation was too difficult a concept for Republicans to effectively weaponize for that reason.

Assaults on welfare are easy to understand–point to an other and tell the voter that something was taken from them and given to the welfare recipient.

Assaulting inflation requires the extra step of convincing the voter that the stimulus checks happily used themselves are a bad thing. That somehow this useful money raised the price of bread or a plastic dohickey on Amazon.
