You can’t logic people out of situations they didn’t use logic to get thenselves into in the first place. They based everything on feels, feels that wouldn’t contradict their ideology.

The rest of the economic woes are boiling the frog slowly, and have been inflicted during both parties being in power.
Large sudden swings in an unavoidable day to day resource that costs over a hundred a week are harder to miss.
“It’s the economy, stupid.”
