    the status quo where everyone was still relatively comfortable

    This statement is so out of touch. People voted for Trump over the Democrats because they were struggling to make ends meet in an economy where a huge amount of the populace is a missed paycheck away from having to choose between being evicted from their homes or feeding their family. The cost of living continues to rise on a monthly basis and the Democrats’ response was to tell us we had the best economy in the world. They believed Trump when he said he’d fix it over Harris when she said she wouldn’t distance herself from Biden’s agenda.

    In hindsight, things can always get worse and we can see now that they have. But six months ago people were not comfortable but rather desperate and the Dems were unwilling to take radical action when Trump promised he would.
