It's a bit like Brandolini's law, recovering from a right wing government takes way more energy and sacrifice than the energy and sacrifice needed by the right wing government to destroy everything.
"Destruction is the work of an afternoon; creation is the work of a lifetime." (Paraphrased)
"Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was burned in one."
(technically the Great Fire of Rome lasted 9 days, but '9 days' is less pithy)
Good people aren't willing to lie in order to abuse populist fears. Fear is such a powerful political motivator. That's why we have shitstains like Trump in office. Short sighted people will give up everything to feel "safe". The reality of our situtation doesn't seem to matter as much as how people feel inwardly.
One step forward two step backwards.
Except its a lot more complicated than just claiming Biden was "recovering from a right wing government" or that Biden gave "energy and sacrifice". Biden went againt the majority of this country and aided and abetted crimes against humanity. He also did some other odious stuff. Lets stop pretending the dem leadership didnt massively shit the bed for 4 years. And then Harris, amidst rock bottom awful polling about Biden's dumb policies, said she couldnt think of a isngle thing she'd change, to a whole country who wanted change. Thats not even bringing up his out of touch economic messaging and his killing of the defund and reallocate movement.
Its high time we stop lying to ourselves about what happened, or we're even more thoroughly doomed than we already are.
Cool story bro, I never mentioned Biden
ah I see, you are saying Biden was also a right wing government. I see. I usually try to think of the dems as the left, but thats not accurate. My bad.
I didn't talk about US politics, not everything is about you guys
