    They know what reaganomics is, how it worked and why it’s bad and they’ve heard of trickle down economics. I don’t think you know many young people outside of a poly sci environment. I barely know.

      Just because you don’t know something…

      Doesn’t mean no one knows it.

      But you know one thing that’s really hurting Bidens numbers with people under 40?

      Him and his supporters acting like unless you’re old enough to retire, there’s no way you understand anything.

      Like, imagine honestly thinking that someone born in 1984 or later, there’s no way you even know the phrase Reaganomics, so that makes it ok for Biden to try and co opt it like Trump did with Regan’s slogan "make America great again.

      The only thing crazier than the two political candidates in 2024 both using Regan’s old campaign slogans, is people repeatedly shouting that no one’s going to notice anyway

        What’s really hurting the numbers is the fact no one follows what actually happens in the world and just loudly puts on a performance of trendy rhetoric.
