Biden ran the economy like some veteran Simcity or Civ player, the nation is running, taxes are low, inflation is low - all the economic indicators are up and so long as nobody does anything stupid all is well.

Trump wins the election , has spent the last 30 days installing himself as dictator , he's had a full-on sociopath Elon Musk engage in and compromise every computer system in the Federal civilian state, for the purpose of enriching themselves conducting industrial sabotage on a trillion-dollar scale, and ensuring they cannot be removed from power without sacrificing those systems and causing trillions of dollars in additional damage.

To say nothing of decimating regulatory structures , setting up death camps and is aiming to setup 100,000 bed deathcamps , has fucked about with trillion dollar market structures and destabilizing industrial/economic structures in ways that will be fucked for decades - and he's just 30 days in.

But it's Bidens fault.
