And our economy is crashing. If Dems won and kept things as they were 7 months ago everything would be demonstrably better than they are now. Would there still be issues? Of course there are always issues, but it would have been much better.

What gained ground?
No ground was gained Trump won. Decades of progress erased in 7 months. The genocide in Israel has accelerated. And our economy is crashing.
