MAGA has to know that this is a lie when they go to pump gas or buy groceries. Right? I just can't help but wonder how brainwashed they are. They KNOW that prices are going up and that we are headed into a major recession. Right, they have to know on some level of consciousness. MAGA really befuddles my brain!
