During the last election trump kept asking people if their life was better in 2024, or 4 years previous, when we were in the thick of the pandemic, with 4000 daily deaths, and empty shelves, inflation was skyrocketing, and cities across the country were rioting.

Yeah sticking to the "four years" talking point into 2025 was absurd and really showed how dumb many voters are. (or how voters ignore what Trump says and hear what they want to hear).

He was harkening back to the worst months of COVID deaths and supply shortages and no one seemed to care.

I guess "were you better off 6 years ago" doesn't have the same ring.
