    The US is just baffling to me, working class people prefer Trump, a wealthy businessman (from the perspective of his voters/supporters) over Biden who is the most pro-union president in a long time.

    It’s also crazy that the strategy of steering the slow-to-turn oil tanker that is the US economy towards a cliff during your turn as president and then chastise your opponent who takes over for damaging the tanker while desperately trying to navigate away from the cliff works cycle after cycle. Reagan, both Bushes and Trump are all guilty of racking up the defecit (with control of both houses and the presidency) while screaming fiscal responsibility and making sure that any collision will happen when they’re not in power or when they’re soon to lose it so the aftermath can be blamed on the Dems.
