It's like a thing among MAGAts to pose the question, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"
I am, but only because COVID killed my father and I inherited all of his money. (He had dementia, but it was getting COVID that killed him.)
Which is the thing they're forgetting -- four years ago we were in the middle of a pandemic that has killed over a million Americans so far.
I suppose I shouldn't say "forgetting." They deny the epidemic ever happened, and if it did happen, it wasn't any worse than the flu (which killed somewhere around fifty million people in 1918), or if it was worse than the flu, then it only killed the weak. Like my father. Or immunocompromised people, those losers. Or diabetics. Or....
THERE WERE SEMIS FILLED WITH DEAD BODIES BECAUSE THE MORGUES WERE OVERFLOWING.

And that's not even taking into account the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the attack on the Capitol which he orchestrated, his malfeasance, the separation of children from their parents at the border, his fucking the Supreme Court for the next 40 years, the eight trillion he added to the national debt, the inflation that kicked off due to his mishandling of the epidemic, his encouraging the Right to become vaccine deniers, his endless lying....
All of which MAGAts also deny, so it's no good trying to point it out.
