Does anyone know the source of this idea?
It's a way to belittle people who voted for him.
The economy was a key factor in the last election, and the American public felt like the Biden administration was not doing enough to address the American public's concerns about the price of things like food continuing to go up; as the Biden administration was touting how good the economy was.
When Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, the Liberal users of Reddit tried to boil the reason that people voted for Trump down to them "being upset about the price of eggs", as eggs were one food item that has seen a very large price increase lately - largely due to the bird flu that is going around, and not due to actual economic factors.
Did people actually use the price of eggs as a reason to vote red?
Yes and no, but the "price of eggs" is a snarky way to belittle their concerns about the economy.
