Trump was also heading into a recession pre covid
Covid took the blame for his shit policies and somehow he even still managed to fuck up the absolute softball that covid gave him to rally support. It was his 9/11 style major event. I was sure he'd win again while following it. Instead he completely blundered it thankfully... then somehow he won again with tiny doomed rallies stranding supporters in the middle of no where. I'll never understand his supporters 😔
Im not entirely convinced there wasnt shit fuckery going on last election
Some evidence is trickling out that it was mucked up. Purged (heavily democratic) voter registrations, ignored mail ins, etc etc
True, economy recovered better than most after pandemic, as companies price gouged, people bought the propaganda and blamed Dems. And they will elect a maga majority again after a short Dem period, where they can't fix it all quickly enough for them. Real progress can't be made, and any good legislation gets blocked or repealed in a few years by maga, destruction is much faster than building good things, and the wealthy keep taking more.
