MAGA knows, even if they won’t admit it
While I’ve been out mirroring voters’ anxieties for weeks, the DCCC this Labor Day weekend is doing the same (Daily Mail):
The Democratic Party launched their latest attempt to appeal to young men in the form of an advert over Labor Day weekend claiming the GOP made beer prices go up.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) spent tens of thousands of dollars on ad buys on YouTube and Instagram this weekend with a five-second clip that makes a simple pitch.
Without narration or any other soundtrack, a beer can is cracked open with subtitles flashing quickly: ‘This Labor Day, Republicans are making the price of beer soar.’
Along with the ad comes a website: https://houserepublicanpricehike.com/
CBS News describes its function:
The interactive tool enables them to click on popular food items like cheese, hamburger meat and ice cream to view the latest price data before checking out with an estimated receipt. For instance, a bottle of beer costs $1.82, up 9 percent since 2022.
Moreover:
Inflation remains a hot-button issue heading into the 2026 midterms. A recent CBS News poll found two thirds of Americans think prices will go up in the coming months.
The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7% last month on an annual basis. Food prices in July rose 0.2% from June and 2.9% over the past year.
I’m still getting thumbs-up, honks and waves from the interstate for “ARE YOUR GROCERIES CHEAPER.” I also got three middle fingers out the window of a single car last evening. They know, don’t they?
I get edgier down on the street. Make your resistance visible.
