<<If there was a button that they could push to revert the macroeconomy back to Q4 2019, they'd push it in a heartbeat - and so that button gets mapped (in their minds) onto putting the GOP back into power.>>

Yeah, except that that’s not four years ago. It’s five years ago. One might argue that Trump shouldn’t be held responsible for the economic mayhem resulting from the pandemic (leaving aside the human mayhem), but why not? If outcome is all that matters, four years ago was a disaster.

I think the answer may be that the pandemic years were so traumatic that most Americans can’t bear to think about them. And can’t bear to recall the utterly sociopathic “leadership” that Trump inflicted upon us in that final, horrible year.
