For MAGA types, sure but there are a small yet significant subset of Trump voters who were that dumb and those are the ones that will actually care about this shit. For crying out loud when you have states that Trump won by less than 30K votes, yeah those idiots matter.

I agree with this. Every now and then I think I meet someone who really is worried about grocery prices but then I thought well no cause that just means they’re more worried about grocery store prices and they are about race bigotry in xenophobia.

This is just a straight up bad faith argument that ignores how colossally the DNC failed in November. There absolutely were millions of Americans who were fooled into thinking that Donald Trump was going to care more about their economic pains than Kamala Harris was. Now, I don't think any of these people would identify themselves as a Trump supporter, they probably called themselves "Undecided" before the election, and I don't think these people want fascism. I think those are the people this ad is trying to reach, the ones who voted for him purely out of economic anxiety who didn't seriously believe the warnings they received of what Trump would really be about. To these people, we call Trump a Nazi the same way he calls Harris a Communist, so they didn't listen. Maybe they'll listen now, and we still need their help if we're to have any chance of getting out of this mess now.

This is completely false. They cared about grocery prices. Trump blamed it on immigrants. Biden said the economy was great.

They were both wrong but that does not mean the concern did not exist.

It's short and sweet and to the point, and you used to be able to get eggs for like a buck fifty, so it's an easy target.

It was never about eggs.

The peope who voted for this don't care.

Eggs are both especially expensive due to bird flu and a cheap staple that many people relied on. Everything has gotten more expensive due to inflation but they made an extreme and relatable example.

Gas has gone up nearly a dollar in my area since the inauguration. I still see bumper stickers saying “if you voted for Biden you owe me gas money” on the monster trucks people drive here.

The problem with the usual egg substitutes is that the corporations have jumped on the price increase there, too. By me, at least, it is still cost prohibitive to get ready-made egg substitutes.

The garbanzo water trick is useful, though.

As long as the aquafaba is salt-free, it makes an awesome substitute for egg whites in mixed drinks. Whiskey sours are absolutely elevated with this substitution.

And this comes from a guy who isn't a vegan. Try it out, folks. You won't regret it.

Everything was highly inflated due to multiple years of >7% inflation. Egg prices are exceptionally for the additional reasons you gave but everything is exceptionally expensive still, not just eggs. They're not stupid for thinking things are inflated (because they are) which sounds like the point you're trying to make. They are stupid for not understanding the nuances of why everything is inflated. But give me a voting population that does. 2024 was a devastating year for all incumbent parties globally because everyone is feeling the pain of COVID and corporate greed

To remind everyone that works at Fox News headquarters

Golden Age of America! As golden as the showers Trump allegedly had in Moscow.

Trump in a grocery store in August 2024:

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One."

He owns it. Whether he actually had any power to affect this is not our problem.

I feel like the egg/grocery thing is more targeting the people that voted for him with grocery prices as the reason which is IMO a dumb reason to vote for anyone particularly with all the bigger problems right now
