TikToker Floored After MAGA Voter Argues About Inflation Without Knowing What It Means

TikToker Dean Withers was visibly frustrated after a MAGA voter asked a question about inflation that made it clear he had no idea what the definition of inflation actually is.

TikToker Dean Withers went viral after showing visible frustration during a conversation with a MAGA voter who made clear they had no idea how inflation is actually defined.

To be clear, inflation is defined as an increase in the average price of goods and services in terms of money. In other words: when inflation goes up, your money buys less than it did before.


Inflation is usually measured broadly, reflecting the general rise in prices or the overall cost of living within a country. However, it can also be tracked more narrowly—for specific categories like food or services. In any case, inflation shows how much more expensive a particular set of goods or services has become over a given period, typically a year.

The person asked Withers the following question:

"Is the only reason that prices go up is due to inflation, is that the only reason that prices will go up, yes or no?"

Withers replied:

"Inflation is defined as prices going up."

It's as simple as that but the voter nonetheless asked:

"But I'm asking you, is that the only reason? I know what the inflation definition is — is that the only reason?"

When Withers noted that prices going up is "not that it's due to inflation, it's that it is inflation," the voter seemed annoyed:

"Lord have mercy, I know, I get it. Is that the only reason that prices of gas and groceries will go up? Is it because of inflation?"

After Withers asked the voter to actually define inflation, they said:

"It's the general level of prices for goods and services rises, reducing the purchasing power of money over time."

A thrilled Withers said:

"Thank you! So you just defined inflation as rising prices. Bingo."

But when the person accused Withers of "not getting it," Withers couldn't hide his frustration:

"No, I don't think you're getting this! You just said, 'Is the only reason for rising prices, rising prices?' Do you get that?"

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
