More than just Trump, I’ve never seen such a contrast between what Biden tried to do vs what Trump is doing. Surely you prefer one or the other. Surely you can see such a humongous difference. Yet too many people didn’t get their instant gratification so decided to tear it all down.
Biden policies biggest problem was building a better country over a decade or more when he only had four years. The biggest issue is voters without an attention span.
Ive always thought it a good thing the country flip flops every four years. Constantly switching to a new direction quickly enough to keep us trending somewhere in the middle. But Biden demonstrated building solutions to modern problems is complex and takes a long time, while Trump is demonstrating how quickly you can tear it all down once you decide you’re above the law and you’re the only one who matters
What we got under Biden was significant inflation and drastically reduced spending power among most of the poor and working class. Under Biden it became a meme that food staples were becoming cost-prohibitive, and while that wasn’t wholly his fault, he clearly didn’t do anything meaningful to change it. That Biden supported a genocide just alienated more voters who wanted real, substantial change.
How likely are you to vote for the incumbent when you’re working three jobs at upwards of 100 hours a week and you still can’t afford to feed your kids?
In exchange Democrats offered excuses, and as you’re watching Donald run roughshod over the Federal Government, you can plainly see that Democrats had all the power they needed to make real change when they controlled the White House and Congress.
Then, when Biden’s condition was no longer possible to hide, they gave the voters a huge ‘fuck you’ by crowning a candidate who stated publicly she wouldn’t do anything different.
significant inflation and drastically reduced spending power
Yet that was mostly a consequence of preventing a pandemic recession. This is back to needing the time. It did work itself out by the end of Biden’s term. People still suffered with the accumulated inflation but current inflation was under control. We needed more time with inflation fixed we’d eventually grow out of it.
And the egg thing is so ridiculous. A temporary consequence of trying to prevent bird flu from becoming the next epidemic or affecting the entire food supply at once. Yeah it sucks but I don’t want the alternative.
Maybe, but if the Biden platform persisted for four terms like Roosevelt, you’d see results almost as transformational.
So the bigger question is how to show results within one presidential term when the goal is building infrastructure, building industries, transforming energy use and environmental impact ? Dems certainly need to get better at messaging, Need to get better at taking credit, but the transformational changes we need will take time.
The thing is, no matter who has the power nothing changes, so why care?
That’s not true. Lots of things change when Trump is president. They get worse.
You want hope, but fear should be enough.

I think ‘humongous’ is being charitable.
