The thing about politics is that even in a time of extensive partisanship, most independent voters prioritize what they see happening around them. When the Biden administration passed the 1.9 trillion bill (followed by more stimulus), a bunch of left-wing experts publicly guaranteed that it wouldn't cause inflation. Then, when the inflation came, they created a million different ways to try to spin it away (greedy corporations, it's a global problem, etc.). None of that matters. All voters outside the base cared about was seeing their bills go up and noticing who was in charge when it happened. If Republicans and the Trump admin don't learn from that, they will only have themselves to blame when voters turn.
