People in my opinion were remembering how they lived under Trump to how they were living today. As time passed, 4 years, the remembrance of how things were becoming better and better than what it actually was and it’s that remembrance they took to the ballot box to what they were facing today. In 2020, Trump was soundly beaten. That was a case of what was at that time vs. what may be in the future under Biden. In 2024, it was a case of what is today vs. what they remembered of what was. People tend to forget the bad and remember the good the more time that passes. They remembered paying 1.50 for a loaf of bread under Trump, today it’s 3.00 or a pack of hot dogs cost 3.00 back then, 6.00 today. The way they remembered the past was to them much better than what is today.I don't understand how voters could fail to give credit to Biden for bringing us out of the covid recession and the covid virus. trump mishandled both and yet they gave him a second chance
to destroy the economy. Maybe they did vote solely on the price of eggs. trump promised a better healthcare plan in 2 weeks, he promised us an infrastructure plan in 2 weeks, the only
promise he ever delivered on were tax cuts for he and his wealthy friends, everything else, just empty words. Biden was able to land an overheated economy without the recession even
the most optimistic economists were predicting. I was disappointed in my country on election night as they put a man back into office whose only reason for wanting the office is the
adulation from MAGA and the financial windfall it gives him. I'll bet he will continue holding rallies, simply because they give him the warm fuzzy feelings he can't get any other way.
Needless to say, I believe the country made a huge mistake, one that we have to live with for 4 more years.
