I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

    Eggs because:

    Vance gave a quote bashing the price of eggs, but he cited a number much higher than the sign he was standing next to.

    Dems pounced on this, mocking the blatant exaggeration and dismissing any concerns about a cost of living crisis.

    It stuck around because it’s emblematic of the overall situation:

    Repubs don’t give a shit about facts, just vibes, and wanna paint as dark of a picture as possible.

    Dems only care about being correct on paper, and don’t give a shit about listening to the problems of ordinary people or doing anything that could be called “radical”.
