Literally no one is saying that.
It wasn't obvious to the voters. And at the risk of repeating myself, calling people stupid is not effective.

Try in good faith.

"but egg prices!!!". They might as well be.
I disagree. The egg criticism, while sarcastic (something almost universally bad) is not unclear. It obviously does not imply people should never care about grocery store prices. Effectively nobody makes that argument - obviously.
And just as obviously, political opponents of the people making these jokes will characterize them that way, as always (something both sides do all the time). So, you may certainly make the argument that people shouldn't be making these jokes for politically strategic reason, to avoid that comparison. But to suggest that the comparison is rational and honest isn't convincing to me.
This is a very common line of disconnect in tribalism. Another high profile example was people saying that the phrase "BLM" meant that other lives don't matter. When a tribe has a catch-phrasified position, the opposing tribe is motivated to convince those in their tribe of a bad-faith interpretation. The degree to which the bad-faith interpretation is genuinely, mistakenly believed, vs a knowing uncharitable interpretation, is certainly arguable. But it's not convincing to argue that the bad-faith interpretation is broadly true.
Again, not at all. It's said when instead of actually working to help the average American this administration is starting trade wars with our allies and taking time out of their day to remove gender identity language from all federal websites. Try in good faith is some advice you might try to follow your self.
Nobody is disagreeing with this and I can see only a single [flagged] [dead] comment which actually does this.

Perhaps, but they obtusely cling on to the idea that there's no possible way that snark couldn't be well interpreted.
