I think people are also making too much of the recent fall in the broader stock markets. Prices go down, and they go up. Yes, since the orange felon took office, the S&P 500, Dow Jones and NASDAQ are all down. But slumps like these happened under Biden, too, and they happened under other presidents. For instance, in November 2022, as the US was going into the midterm elections, the S&P was down by more than 1% since Biden had taken office more than 2 years earlier.

No matter our politics, we all live in bubbles. We make hay when things look bad for our opponents. We are more open-minded when things look bad for the people we support. If we on the left don't want to keep getting beat, we need to be smarter and more rigorous in our thinking.
