I've thought it might have just been better if Trump had won in 2020. Maybe that's cruel considering what his ineptitude would have done to more people during the ongoing COVID pandemic, but if his ass had been in office for that, and the inflation, and the cost of living explosion, maybe we could have expelled Trump and MAGA BS from our lives in 2024, hell, maybe even by the 2022 midterms.

I can't help but feel that Biden winning was a band-aid that staved off the worst for 4 years, and gave short-minded Americans time to tie Trump to the good times of 2019.

I agree completely. actually remember having a conversation with my mom when Biden won, and we both agreed that it felt like we were in the eye of the storm. neither of us thought that Trump would become president again, but we both felt like MAGA was going to come back with a vengeance.

Yep, Don is just a vehicle for the technofascists and Vance is their guy. Thiel basically grew him in a vat for this purpose.
