    Would you still riot

    if I was barely able to afford rent and heard “stay the course”

    …. And you had the awareness to see the historically huge investments in infrastructure, supply chains, renewable energy, EVs that would have added thousands of jobs? that inflation had been trending down and was near normal? Repeated attempts to implement assistance for the student loan crisis over Republican objections? Etc

    Biden did a lot of the right things for all of us, but we needed to stay the course long enough for them to take effect and we needed to be both aware that they existed and patient enough to understand that some things take time.

    Instead we voted for an orange child to throw tantrums and break all our toys.

    Destruction is fast and easy, but building is much harder and takes more time
