It speaks to the mass anger, on both sides of the political spectrum, in the same 6-12 month period. None of which we saw the likes of in US during the deeper, longer, more impactful near-depression of 2008.

Ok, but your original comments said this:
> And yet all everyone wants to talk about is egg prices going up so we need to vote the bums out and take a turn towards the party of the CEO class.
Whereas now you're talking about things that have nothing to do with egg prices or indeed any prices. So I'm not sure how it's relevant to the original discussion or to the linked article.
People get angry politically about things that have little to do with economics. You could name abortion too. But... how is that even relevant here?
If your question is, why were people more angry about the economy in 2024 than in 2008, I'm not sure that they were. If your question is, why were people more angry in general in 2024 than in 2008, the answer would depend on issues having nothing to do with the economy.
