Do you remember the pandemic? The million or so people who died? Wearing masks, and limiting your movements? The collapse of the economy that was only mitigated by bailouts by the federal government? And do you remember how Trump responded? Do you recall his attempts to avoid responsibility and to downplay the disaster that was unfolding in real time? Does eating bleach and taking horse tranquilizers ring a bell? Do you remember Trump refusing to wear a mask for fear of offending his base and participating in superspreader activities? In short, do you recall how dire our condition was on the date of the 2020 election?
If you do, it appears that you are a member of a small minority. When the American public thinks of the Trump economy, it focuses on 2019, not the rapid increase of unemployment in 2020. In Biden’s case, he gets no credit for getting us through the pandemic; instead, he is blamed for the inflation that directly resulted from the virus even though it was a worldwide phenomenon. It is as if the public thinks the pandemic never happened, to the benefit, on both ends, of Trump.
This has to change. That is the responsibility of both the Biden campaign and the MSM.
