Brendan O'Connor: Democrats reaping the rewards of righteousness as Donald Trump connects with common man
Briefly

The insistence from some Democratic leaders that Americans should feel joy amidst economic struggles left many feeling unheard and unsupported. This sentiment created a growing disconnect as individuals grappled with financial difficulties while being told their feelings were invalid. Reports emerged of widespread frustration among voters who felt that acknowledging their struggles was met with dismissal, further alienating those in need of real support and empathy.
Many Americans found it disheartening when Democratic voices advocated for a narrative of joy during troubling financial times. As basic necessities like milk, bread, and fuel became unaffordable, the disconnect between their realities and political messaging became glaring. This disparity led to feelings of being 'gaslit,' where individuals were told they were wrong to feel poor, compounding their frustrations and alienation from the Democratic narrative.
