It's tough to tell. Will Trump get political credit for, you know, sending people $2,000 and such in their time of greatest need or will the public ask themselves whether they're better off today than they were four years ago? I...dunno. The historical record would seem to suggest the latter. Then again, Boris Johnson won in a (technical) landslide over the UK last December in the middle of an economic downturn (albeit a far less severe one), so hey, who knows how gullible people are? It just goes to show that you've gotta remind people of how exactly our particular covid-19 crisis here in the United States got this bad in the first place. It also helps to point out that President Trump also feels that the hotel industry needs a bailout. I wonder why that might be, and why that too seems to be an equally compelling priority for this administration. |
I hope people aren't gullible enough to fall for it a second time. My anxiety has gotten to me big time because of all this shit happening. Hopefully Biden can pull himself together long enough to win the general. We progressives can work with Biden to enact some change, we can't work with Trump. A second term with him would be disastrous for the American people and the planet.
