I do think the recession will hit and mitigate inflation somewhat. Between the two vices, the People prefer recessions to inflation.

Isn’t that recency bias from significant inflation having more recently been an issue than significant recession (the Covid recession was successfully prevented from being devastating by strong fiscal policy)?
