"A Trump doesn't happen in a country where things are going well." - @mtaibbi. With Trump defeated, we're going to have to face (and change) a lot of things so dysfunctional in our society that he could ever have emerged to begin with.

I think we're going to pretend that Biden's election is a rejection of "Trumpism" while we ignore the conditions that got Trump elected in the first place. 2024 is gonna be lit.

I absolutely agree, but if Democratic leadership is unable/unwilling to push through another stimulus bill that helps people, that's where we'll be. The initial $1200 "Trump" stimulus checks and Bernie's $600/wk unemployment benefits are the best I've seen from our leaders.
