As I said. You are, imo, not looking at the Macro.
Couple this with AI killing entry level white collar jobs and numerous mid level ones. Tariffs killing several small e commerce business models. Border controls hurting tourism. Inflation, stagflation, high interest, a real estate crisis looming, a debt crisis, both student loan and credit card looming. Higher prices due to tariffs and businesses taking advantage of this to rise domestic pricing on locally produced goods. A population now possibly where 4 generations, starting with Gen X, and definitely after, that are worse off than their parents.
Now mix in a consumer confidence drop, resulting in a downward spiral of discretionary spending by those that might waver either way normally, a bill that is trying to kill Medicaid and social services for the most vulnerable, a continuing drug crisis, and the perception growing in the populace of an indifferent and arguably hostile administration hell bent on harming them. Increasing military use and threats to use more. A surveillance state that more people are waking up too.
And that's just the domestic. Internationally the question of the USA as the reserve currency in the face of isolationism, trade wars that with cause longer term supply chain problems, and TACO which means a loss of prestige for the office in ALL things.
It is imo a powder keg years in the making. Awaiting the match. Maybe this year maybe next, but somehow I don't think the promise of a midterms correction will be enough.
