I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.

Like I said: Trump fucked it, Biden unfucked it starting in January 2021 and got it under control. And, because the media laps up a good narrative like no other, Biden got the blame for what Trump did, when the US recovered better from Covid inflation than pretty much every other country in the world.

If you're struggling now, and "holding your vote in protest of the Democrats," then I withdraw a little bit of my sympathy. You're going to get it right up the ass very hard in the next few years, if you did that, and although it won't be completely your fault you will have helped make it happen.

The economic struggle and inflation only fell on people under Biden's presidency and vastly after Ukraine war. what people live under is what matters. not that a trump presidency will alleviate this. but you shouldn't expect people to reelect the same team that choose to extend a war in Ukraine and send 100 billion to Ukraine while their own are struggling.

Don't care really! I don't believe in heroism. He didn't deserve to Die in a prison though.
