    I want to feel optimistic about the midterms and relax a little, but after every traumatic disappointment since 2016 my ability to feel at ease has been crippled. No matter how badly the GOP screws up again and again, or how obvious it is that no sane human being should rely on them for any positive outcome, or how clearly the signs point towards Democratic victories, I will be acutely uncomfortable until this horror show ends. I've been made all too aware of America's capacity for stupidity.

      Indeed. If the Planter's Peanut or the farmers of the National Peanut Board told people to "Eat my nuts," the humorous advertising campaign would certainly drive up market demand by affecting preference. Nuts would be substituted for other healthy snacks and the demand curve would shift to the right. As a result of this rightward shift, a new equilibrium would be established leading to a higher price for nuts as well as a higher QUANTITY SUPPLIED of nuts. The MARKET SUPPLY has not changed but the higher prices and profit margins will incentivize more nut producers to enter the market.
