28. Yes. And you're right that it's always a focused message.

This year it was "prices are too high" and "immigrants are invading" and "trans people scary!"

There's always a tiny germ of truth in the talking point, but it's twisted to be the opposite of the truth.

Prices are too high - compared to salaries, which have lost ground compared to prices. Also, COVID. A very complicated issue. But easy to blame on Biden.

There's a humanitarian crisis on the border because people are fleeing crime and economic chaos in Latin American countries - many of those issues exacerbated by U.S. policies. Again, a complicated issue, reduced to "Kamala bad!"

Etc.
