> Nobody in my circle was bitching about grocery prices when Trump was in office.

yeah

only widespread shortages on basic goods like toilet paper and a total breakdown of the price discovery mechanism generally, and people freaking out about whether or not there would be enough food to feed themselves

> Inflation really do be like that.

Sure. But don't forget : trump wanted to cause as much inflation as possible.

Took awhile to get it kicked up a notch, and biden certainly hasn't done as well on that as they could have (or, even as well as canada has)

sure

> Nothing under Biden has been positive for the Main Street economy.

That goes too far. He has done a positive thing or two, though plenty of negative to balance it out including but not limited to basically ignoring covid this past and current wave.

> Austerity was actually done via rate hikes

that's the fed doing that not biden

> and energy price increases thanks to Russia-Ukraine war.

this biden does have some responsibility for, and there's going to be more if it goes on -- with the strategic reserve nearing 0

>Some of that is downstream of Trump's time in office, but very little is from his policy.

I would suggest otherwise -- he signed the USMCA and other trade agreements that locked in long-term changes to the US economy. He spun the US into debt that is now costing more than even the us military every year. And, of course, the pandemic still rages -- which started on his watch.
