Could Anything Have Been Done Different?

Recently I saw a graph that showed partisan views on how the economy is doing. There were huge swings in early 2017 and 2021. It’s dramatic and symmetrical.

I have no problem with President Trump becoming president. I did predict it. However, I do not think he (or VP Harris also) are the best choices for the country.
I just think there is a bit of TDS on President Trumps followers.
I know we have a lot of history people here. So, I have the following question:
What president had a "base" that adored him as much as the base of President Trump adores him?
Anyway, You have to have numbers to compare things. it is not fair to say, "yes, the numbers show illegal crossings were a bit higher under President Trump vs. President Obama. Even so, I feel that they were higher under President Obama." They werent. That is where I say that President Trump is a good cheerleader. He can increase your mental satisfaction even if things stay the same.
As I said before, regardless of who is president, the sun will come up, the stores will open, the stock market will go up, etc.

You realize that’s a cop out, right? You make a claim, she proves you wrong with data. At least concede the point before changing the subject.
These sorts of criticisms should probably come from people with track records of conceding points when they are obviously wrong.

You’re projecting again.

No, you have to have good numbers to compare things. And when dealing with constantly shifting base parameters, you better have historical perspective when you're comparing numbers or you'll wind up comparing apples to kumquats.
It's been widely discussed that the number of illegals in the country are many more than the Biden Administration reported. Some say as many as twice as many.
🤯What does that say about the validity of illegal immigrant number comparisons?

No one disputes (at least I dont) that illegal border entries are higher under President Biden.
My point was that President Trump campainged in 2016 that
he WILL decrease the illegal border crossings
he WILL improve the economyHe campaigned in 2020 that
he DID did decrease the illegal border crossings
he DID improve the economyI showed numbers from the Customs and Border Organization that showed the number of illegal entries was more than under President Obama and the number of border patrol agents was about the same. I showed numbers on the economy that showed the improvement was marginal at best. (Yes, COVID did play a role, but again, who was president in 2020?)
If the counter argument is that because you dont like what the numbers are saying, they are wrong, I have no more melt point tables of ANSI 150 steel left. LOL
Still love you however.

Read an interview with a Democrat advisor who was saying that very few Democrats seemed to be obvious (or were in denial) to the fact that social "woke" issues caused big problems for them during the election.
One comment he made was something like
"telling somebody who is barely scraping by on $10/hour that he is privileged because he is white is not a way to get his vote"
His point was that the Democrats had to shift away from this if they wanted to have any success in the future.

The best predictor of voting preference in this election wasn’t white or not white, it was male or female.
Not as much as advertised.

Point taken. Easy to lose sight of this, with all the messaging that he hates women and wants control over their bodies. And that messaging is generally sourced from a female talking head.

Yep, he actually had a majority with white women.
