I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren't Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.

I think it's revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).

Gas is the big one. I don't hear as much complaining about food where I am.

Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.

It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...

What will they think when those things don't happen? Some conspiracy shit?

Cognitive dissonance - They'll find some way to blame it on Biden/Harris/Newsom/Pelosi.

Biden will be taking the blame for all the problems over the next couple of years.
