TBH, leading up to 2016, pre-awakening, I spent a lot of time on various sites from left to right, trying to gauge where things stood. I was very much a normie, but I remember thinking the story was not what we were being told. It didn't seem right. I live in an extremely blue area so it was the only way I could get a clue as to what was going on outside the local echo chamber. I think it helped in the long run. I remember a conversation I had with a friend at lunch one day - this must have been in September of 2016, and we agreed that we thought Trump was going to win - hell I even remember us looking around before we said it. But basically this is a long way of saying I agree you have to spend time "outside". I mentioned the other day that Hunter had gotten together with his dead brother's wife and the person I was talking to - who is not dumb - had no clue. And that's not a secret. So yeah...
James Carville was not wrong when he said "it's the economy stupid".
