[Red State] I specifically remember how I felt the morning after Trump won the White House in 2016. While I had not supported Trump in 2016, there was a bit of a sense of relief that, by some miracle, Hillary Clinton was not going to be President. While I had my reservations regarding Trump that had caused me to not support him in 2016, the disaster that would have been a Hillary Clinton Presidency, was avoided. It wasn’t long before I felt more comfortable with Trump’s Presidency as he rolled back regulations, lowered taxes, and set the economy loose to climb to levels the Democrats had said was impossible.I would imagine that is how our Democrat counterparts felt the morning after the 2020 Election. While many of the Progressives were uneasy about Biden’s Presidency, they were certainly glad that Trump had been defeated (yes, I am aware of the irregularities). The Democrats were in the driver’s seat to enforce whatever plans they wanted. The Democrats were free to reverse all of those evil Trump policies and push a sweeping progressive agenda that would bring peace, prosperity, and equality to America, right?
I could imagine that the left’s thinking has been going a little something like this:
At the very least, Biden’s Presidency will finally reverse the crisis at our Southern Border. We all know that those open border policies and ordering a halt to the building of the wall will solve that problem. Biden would never build any portion of that wall. Anyone knows that the entirety of the problems that exist at the border began January 20th, 2017, and there was never a problem at the border before that. We all know that Trump was keeping kids in cages. Biden fixed those issues, right?
So he didn’t get it done at the border, but we are still glad we’ve solved the problem with the racial divide that had plagued our country for the last four years. That too, started when Trump took office and has definitely not been a problem in our country’s history. All of the rioting and looting was in reaction to Trump’s racist policies that led to increased opportunities for Black-owned small businesses and the lowest Black unemployment rate ever. Biden’s Administration certainly stepped up there! Wait, he didn’t?
