This one is all about libs wanting to scold maga chuds for being "stupid". Chuds believe Trump can magically reduce the cost of eggs, so chuds and trump are stupid and proven wrong. Libs don't care about whether people can't afford eggs, because in their mind if eggs are expensive that's what the market has judged them to be; you can't just stop inflation. To libs there is no solution to reducing the price of eggs and you're stupid to think there is. They are the adults in the room after all.
Potential tagline?? This is exactly it - Both libs and Trump voters believe in magic that will solve all their ills, while believing the others' magic is their antithesis. I don't see either of them facing reality any more than the other.
really nailed the lib conception of the market
It is kind of a useful ideological tool for liberals.
It turns structural material issues into personal moral shortcomings, it turns "we have an egg shortage" into "if you work harder and make more money, you too can deserve eggs".
Leftists liberals
“Capitalists make the rules.”
It gets so frustrating to explain how BS it is minimum wage can never go up but capitalists can just unilaterally decide for themselves when they want a raise and just do it. But of course “muh property rights!” like porky isn’t leering at what little people have with envy.
