We should have messaged COVID bring a part of the inflation and inflation being global and we had a soft landing coming out when everything opened back up again.
How do you know the movement waned? I never got that sense and had that feeling we were on our way to another loss until he bungled COVID so badly, then that led to January 6 and everything else. COVID showed how badly he could handle a crisis, while Jan. 6 showed he could be the causation of one. Why people forget this, I don’t know.
What COVID, and this election, has shown us, is that so many selfish people people exist yet in this country - didn’t want to lock down, didn’t want to wear masks, for their safety or for others. They care about their freedoms, while all being all too happy to deny them to others. They can tell us what to do, just don’t you dare tell them what to do. It sure fed a lot of conspiracy theories.
And theocracy? Corruption? Abortion being taken away and given to legislatures and women at risk of death due to sepsis? Who cares, as long people have cheap gas and eggs? But that rose because of COVID causing the global supply chain to collapse. So many people care only about themselves, not of others. I would argue such selfishness in many Americans had carried over to the Ukraine war.
If we lose in 2020, how much additional damage is done? How many more die? How much further reshaped are our courts? What other comes, scandals, distractions are there?
And when would have been the right time to win an election? What if we won Tuesday, but we looked back in a future election year and say it would’ve been better if we had lost in 2024?
It sure is painful to lose now, and it looks very bleak at the moment, to put it mildly, but what’s to say we’re not celebrating a victory in a future election year?
Because I can tell you, I was thinking to myself on Tuesday that if we won, we’d be cooked in 2028. If we still have elections 2-4 years from now, things look good for us.
