The dilemma is that shallow-thinking folks think that because cities burning down “happened under Trump” and rank violence bleeding into the suburbs “happened under Trump” and CV-19 “happened under Trump” that somehow all these things are Trump’s doing, or fault. This is the media message, 24/7. To the extent it works—it works. To the extent that the author of this piece claims now she and her ilk are now worried about paying their rent/mortgage and keeping their neighborhoods safe so they can raise their kids...they’re either lying or not thinking it through. And I don’t understand that. They’re not stupid, they’re the victims and targets of relentless propaganda that plays upon their emotions. But why they believe *anything* Biden & co might have done would have cut the CV-19 death count is defective thinking. Why they might believe that Biden would have acted to stanch the violence in the streets, when he and Kamala have scarcely even criticized same; this I do not understand either.
I actually witnessed this in action recently. This otherwise very intelligent person, who lives in The Town, started ranting about the riots and the unsafe areas and the vandalism, then suddenly paused, had this roll of the eyes (this was like watching something from a science fiction movie) "self-corrected" and started blaming Trump. It was weird to watch this.
