You can hear a scared child crying behind the camera and a woman saying "help us," but no one helps.

About one in five mail-in ballots in the last election was fraudulent, handing Biden the presidency. We know this because the people who committed the fraud have admitted it in a new poll. pic.twitter.com/fxHL9hT4sw

"People are really tying Bidenomics and their perception of the economy to the inflation rate," said Matt Monday of Morning Consult, in a new Bloomberg story titled, "Biden's gains against Trump vanish against deep economic pessimism, poll shows." It's the latest entrant in an intensifying campaign to describe voters, especially in key electoral swing states, as morons and partisan haters who'll deny reality itself out of political spite.
This campaign has been weirdly perverse in its mockery. Seattle Times cartoonist David Horsey recently tossed off a visual of the reality-denying swing voter, rendering him as a pudgy, confused hominid in the mode of Monty Python's duncelike Gumbys. Having negative feelings about "the best performing [economy] in the world" is equivalent to denying who won the Super Bowl:

When the Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago ran "What's Wrong With the Economy? It's You, Not the Data," I thought the "It's not me, it's you" framing had to be ironic, a spoof of these increasingly numerous "perception of the economy" pieces. Nope:

Noting that 74% of respondents in a recent poll said they felt inflation in the "past year" was going in the wrong direction, author Greg Ip noted flatly "it's not true," adding:
I'm not stating an opinion. This isn't something on which reasonable people can disagree. If hard economic data count for anything, we can say unambiguously that inflation has moved in the right direction in the past year.
Ip might be technically right about the last year of inflation, but I'm not sure how many finance writers want to be in the business of deciding who belongs in the "reasonable people" club, given the last twenty years of unpunished thievery on Wall Street. One could argue a reasonable person would have marched on Manhattan and started defenestrating bankers ten years ago:...
