I realize there’s no singular answer for this, but many of the MAGA crowd attribute many of our current woes to the prior administration, like cost of living, inflation, unemployment rates, etc.

I’d imagine that every day that passes and we get more and more distant from Biden’s presidency, it gets a bit harder to blame him for every problem.

e.g. It’d be hard to blame many of the increased prices on electronics on him, since much of this has been driven by Trump’s tariffs (but I bet someone will attempt to refute this!)

This is a long-winded way of me asking the community, have you seen any Trump fans start to come around at all? When do we start living in the conditions (good or bad) of Trump’s America and stop laying blame on the last administration?

I’m interested to see what people of all persuasions feel about this.

For myself, I have seen some minor loss of enthusiasm among Trump followers, but I haven’t seen anyone register as a Democrat yet :)

    It sounds like you just want to know at what arbitrary amount of time trump gets the blame for Biden’s failings, even though they are Biden’s failings.

    There are some things that will always be the Biden admin’s fault, like the rampant inflation and price increases that lead to the current cost of living crisis. That inflation and those increases of prices across the board haven’t gone away, and likely never will. The only way they do is by absolutely massive deflation, or a depression in other words.

    Something that cost $5 in 2021 should only cost $5.50 or so now if inflation didn’t go crazy, but instead it costs $8 because of the Biden admin. Trump can’t “fix” that. The only ways are a depression, which would be seen as a failure even though it’s what’s needed, or for real wages for every person in the country to skyrocket 30% more than inflation, without causing extreme inflation, which isn’t possible.

    The tariffs are a risk, for sure - but the goal of them is to make things cheaper after a bit of short term pain as countries reduce their tariffs on US products to below where they were before to make the USA reduce their tariffs back to what they were, because the countries can’t survive without US exports. It’s a negotiating tactic, and it’s already worked with a lot of countries. The big one still in the air is China, but it’s showing good signs.
