Well, allow me to explode all of your specious "points."
I have no idea what your $4.2K figure is supposed to mean or where you dug it up, but real incomes are up over the last two years. So, bullshit.
If stock prices have fallen, that doesn't affect individual wealth. Don't confuse wealth and intrinsic value. I haven't sold my stocks, and I haven't lost a dime.
Conservitards don't get to bleat about "Biden's open borders" and a record number of arrests along those same borders. Not unless they want to sound like hypocritical idiots.
One can cherry-pick crime stats until one turns blue in the face. What one cannot do (honestly) is attribute any given stat or stats to the politicis of a given area. I KNOW that's a tiresome conservitard bleat. But thousands of studies have shown the politics of a region to have virtually nothing to do with crime rates.
It's a trope in American politics, you don't like how things are going, well, vote for us guys instead, we'll make it all better (don't press us too hard on exactly how or what). But the RepubliQ aren't even attempting to send any such message. Abortion bans and voting restrictions. That's all they've got!
Real wages are wages after accounting for inflation. Real wages have declined every month for 15 months. Each of my points above is a link....so if you don't understand what that means or are aren't smart enough to click on the links I provided then maybe you need to step away from the keyboard and go back to school. I’m sure you’ll find it enlightening to learn that using identical metrics, under Trump’s administration Americans gained $4000 in income and under Biden we have already lost $4200. It’s pretty simple math unless you’re a math denier.

The fact is Americans are earning less after inflation and experienced a record decline in wealth under a Democrat President and Congress. Now you can claim 'it's not our fault' and take no accountability, but if an NFL team has a coach that loses every fucking game, they get fired. If a CEO takes a profitable company and turns it into a loser, they get fired. You must be so isolated from reality that you haven't experienced the decreased spending power suffered by most American families.
As to you lie about not having a plan or sending a message...that's simply not true. Here's just one summary of how Republicans will address Inflation, energy and supply chain issues. Educate yourself.

And what was the Democrat plan to address inflation??? That would be their 750 billion dollar spending boondoggle that actually increases inflation. Even a freshman economics student understands you don't address inflation by increased government spending. The 'act' mostly appeases your green energy cult and Democrat politicians simply and cynically titled it The Inflation Reduction Act...even though it does no such thing. 87,000 new IRS agents to perform expensive and non-productive audits of small businesses is really going to help reduce inflation. Or 300 billion in new taxes on big business? You think they aren’t going to pass that on to the consumer?
And don’t get me going on crime and how democrats have conveniently changed their soft on crime tune from Defund the Police and No Cash Bail to…well we don’t really know what they’re singing now. And before you claim 'Democrats never wanted to defund the police' here's 7 minutes of Democrats demanding we defund the police.
