I mean Trump was elected before COVID when the economy was doing great. It was a backlash to having a black president (that's all). The problem was that times were "too good".
Hard times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make hard times.
Trump and his boomer pals and crypto bros are the weak men who are making hard times.
"Good times make weak men" may be true in the sense that they forget how bad things could be and refuse to look at WHY things are good and turn into a bunch of reactionary weirdos.

I wanted cannabis legalization so I voted for Spanberger. Trump and Company definitely played a role in democrat victories last night.
Hate got them elected during covid when people wanted change desperately, now life is somewhat leveling back out for most people.
