...the media TOLD them to! They should have expected hard times after TSF left office and left us with all the complications of a global pandemic, one that TSF allowed to run rampant in this nation. Biden didn't cause those problems, but he was very successful in addressing them, even though it took a while to see results of his policies. But people want instant soup. They don't want to go through the time and effort it takes to put things right again. They believe they are entitled to instantly gratifying results if a Democratic administration is in office--mostly because the media tells them they should expect such results and because they are irresponsible, spoiled, adolescent-minded Americans. Notice how TSF supporters are now parroting the talking points of a little bit of sacrifice now to make way for better times later? I guarantee you that rationale would not be going on if there was a Democratic administration in office. The media wouldn't allow that.
