Now we'll get a slightly lower COL for a short period before rents go up even higher not because of taxes for social services, but because of greedy capitalists.
I think this is actually a valid takeaway for the Democrats for the next election:
You are on the clock to Noticeably Improve People's Lives (NIPL) during your term, or your braindead electorate are going to flush the country down the toilet post-haste. While investing in long-term gains is important, all those investments will be sabotaged if you can't improve people's lives in a way they can actually tell, and critically, communicate it to the aforementioned braindead electorate so that they know the effect you had.

The cost of living seems to be a major point.
Whatever reason they had to vote for orange dictator: They are in for an ugly awakening.

It’s not completely in the Democrats’ hands: https://lemmy.world/post/22075727
And there were noticeable improvements, but people were convinced there weren’t.
Fighting the propaganda is the bigger battle now.

Noticeable is in the eyes of the beholder. A lesson hard learned from my own career - no one will care if you do good things if you don't market them.
I guess that could be called a propaganda battle.
