Biden was elected in 2020.


Highly likely that Trump's bumbling of COVID resulted in Biden's election. In NYC there were refrigerated tractor trailers parked outside of hospitals for the overflow dead. I'm sure it was just as bad in other parts of the country during those months. Curious how quickly people forget, and I'm sure we'll have to relearn these lessons yet again.

I think some of this forgetting was attributable to the Biden administration's decision to suddenly start acting like COVID didn't exist. It's pretty hard to remind people of metrics from the past when you're also simultaneously trying to avoid talking about those same metrics in the present.
