I think Biden nostalgia is ok. I was viciously critical of Biden over Israel and economics, but at least I was confident food didn’t have glass shards, science was still being funded, and departments were staffed by professionals. Ya know?Because he was a centrist at best. You can’t fight fascism with the bare minimum. As much as I respect Biden as a president bc of the way he handled things like economic policy and environmental protection, and as much as I hate his administration’s complacency with Israel. It is due to him historically and continuously being a centrist politician, only republicans think that guy was a liberal. Most people support him bc of who we can compare him too. Like, he was never gonna crusade
I think this was actually precisely the issue with the Biden era. Mfs went back to brunch, while the MAGA fascists used that time to plan and build momentum. Biden was a pretty boring President. Him being so boring made politics harder to stay in touch with, there was no more “did you see this crazy shit?” every single day. So people clocked out, which we all appreciated the ability to do for once, and weren’t ready for when Trump came back.
