Trump's mishandling of it basically sealed the deal. Trump will mismanage any disaster. Lots of people will die, in some fashion under him. If it's a large disaster (disease, hurricane, whatever) they will lose again in 2028. I'm not hoping for it, but it's all but guaranteed to happen.

The other thing is there was a missed opportunity. There were the legitimate beginnings of a true social safety net, with all the job and housing protections and money given to people. And then those programs ended. They should have been permanent.
