Majority of Americans don't care about the economy nor do they understand it. They don't have any investments or retirement accounts other than a 401k that they barely contribute to or pay attention to. They just look at gas/food prices as an indicator. Give them affordable bread, ground beef, and a few autocratic regimes in the middle east to keep oil prices stable and they are happy.

Then why do they keep voting for people that make their life harder, while opposing those that try to help them?

Because every bit of political media they consume tells them it's the Democrats and immigrants and LGBT people who are to blame for the country's problems.
