On one hand, itโs hard to fathom what happened. All these stories of women outpacing men, first time voters, blah blah blah. It meant absolutely fucking nothing in the end. How did this happen? I guess we made too many assumptions about where those votes were going. But it still does t make sense.
On the other hand, it all makes sense. Inflation and the average Americanโs understanding of it was at the forefront throughout Bidenโs presidency. What could he have done differently. Use the Clinton โI feel your painโ? Would that have made a difference? If there was a magic deflation button on the Resolute Desk, Iโm sure he would have pressed it.
So much to dig through. My husband is devastated, as am I. But I told him what can we do? Like I said last night. Live our lives and prepare for the what may be coming. I told him weโre going to need each other. I remember trying to be hopeful in 2016 because, again, what are our options. I couldnโt have imagined how bad it actually turned out. Iโm afraid itโll be worse this time
