          Trump says in every rally that we were better when he was president. That was 4 years ago. So, him and his whole MAGA following.

            Ah, there’s the issue. He never does anything in good faith.

            Except maybe kiss himself in the mirror, not sure.

          This is a very common question used in politics, particularly for conservatives, anytime they are running against an incumbent. The implication is that yes it was better four years ago. That is exactly what the Trump campaign says. In fact he specifically has said that four years ago covid was completely under control and fading. That he had done a Monumental job. I’m very much surprised you weren’t aware of this.

          Not the VP debate, presidential. And yes, I can leave my home now, and my friends and family aren’t dying from a mysterious pandemic while stores and restaurants are closing, and streets are overrun with body storage. I can travel again (albeit maybe not on a Boeing Max), and see people in person. While there are still PLENTY of problems to address, I’m better off than four years ago.

          The Republican candidate lied that Americans were making more money and that Republican policies reduce inflation. Apparently it’s ok to just lie.
