Rising grocery prices are hitting families hard, and the fight over how much it matters is now splitting the political right.

• Grocery prices are still climbing and staying painfully high for everyday shoppers.
• Matt Walsh said fixing food costs should be the top priority for every elected leader, over foreign wars.
• Some conservatives pushed back hard, dismissing the complaints about rising food prices.
• The argument is that ignoring cost-of-living pain is pushing more people toward socialist politicians.

Outlook: Expect food prices and affordability to stay a central fault line in politics, especially with socialist candidates gaining ground.
