A black lady at the grocery store told me she was voting for Trump this time because the price of pork chops had tripled.
I ain't even making that up.
Out of the blue, in the parking lot after we had both checked out, she walked up to me and said,
"I'm voting for Trump this time. There meat went up triple. These pork chops were $4 last week and they cost me $12 today! You know they said that man is racist so I didn't vote for him. But there's racists in everybody, even black people. I'm voting for Trump! Got me spending all my money on these pork chops trying to feed my grandchildren!"
Background information:
Whole pigs, pork butts, chops, any cut of pig, were between 79ยข and $1.99/lb...then overnight, BOOM, $2.99 - $5.99/lb.
I don't think I'd base a campaign on cheap swine.
Although, I seem to remember a guy winning on a "Chicken in every pot" slogan. ๐
