Four years ago you couldn’t buy toilet paper. Are some people worse off than under Trump 1.0? Of course. Is more than half the country worse off? Fuck no. People have goldfish memories and Dems did a terrible job touting their wins that did make Americans better off under Biden.

Just as an aside I never actually had problems buying toilet paper. I don't actually know anyone who did. I know that's not really pertinent I just always find it funny people say that.

That's exactly what I'm saying though. It's about the stories we tell ourselves and the stories the parties are able to sell to us. Reality doesn't matter the stories that we buy matter.
