Exactly what things were better? Less spending? Not true. It was more military spending, butt hurt American consumers because of tariffs that only hurt consumers, Trump actually started to rip apart globalization and supply chains before covid ever started. There was already a mass division of politics within the population. Snowflakes, rednecks, homosexuals, right wing extremists,... All existed throughout whichever administration you want to think of. Killing oil industry? You are suggesting oil would be cheaper under a GOP administration? Then you don't understand a thing about global resource markets. Here in Canada the aim is to have 100% newly registered cars to be ZEVs by 2035. Ambitious but attainable and a worthy attempt. I strongly dislike Trudeau and his fake persona and get done nothing attitude but some goals are worthy of fighting for even if it costs us more in the short term. And part of this is to reduce our carbon footprint. Anyone who still tries to argue that we are not driving at full speed into a climate catastrophe is completely brainless or blatantly ignorant.
