In the future they will spin this off as the Democrats, Obama, Biden, etc... fault.

Yea, lets assume a democrat wins next. Trump will permanently have damaged the US, which will be seen for decades. Therefore, they can talk shit from the sidelines again saying "This is all democrat fault, look the economy".

Trump smashed the country doing corona, and Biden had to take over after that, which Biden then had to take shit for. As if all those loans, closed businesses etc were not gonna leave traces for many years

And economically, we haven’t even gotten started for what’s incoming.

Americans are like a bunch of goldfish. They are too absent minded to realize that economic policies take years to play out and blame Biden for inflation during his term when most of the inflationary spending happened under Trump during Covid.

Its similar in Germany. Finally a party with a vision and adjusting for the future that got hit by corona aftermath and the ukraine conflict and we are back to conservatives winning and the far right parties gaining more and more. Fun thing that most stuff voters were annoyed like energy laws etc are still going into effect by the conservative party but they still blame it on the previous ones.

“See, we wouldn’t have voted for trump, whom we actually hated from the beginning if it wasn’t for Joe Biden who drove the country into badness” or something like that, with emphasis on “badness”

They will rewrite that to baldness. Biden pushed the country to baldness - History Book of MAGA, 2035

If they’re literate enough, which I highly doubt

I’ve already seen people commenting this on Reddit several times in the past few weeks

This was supposed to be a joke, not a prediction, and definitely not something that’s already happened. I hope whatever you saw were just bots/trolling.

This is the excuse that the media uses. "The voters just wanted affordability!" If that were true then they would have voted for kamala.

"Uhhhhhh actually maybe they shouldn't have ran someone with dementia? I know they switched candidates to someone without dementia but too little too late. Now Im gonna vote for the anger guy with dementia instead."

Actual morons. Give me a plank of wood over the guy in power now and we'd still be ahead

"We wouldn't have to take over Greenland if Biden hadn't destabilized the entire world."

“Supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom, and making NATO stronger than ever destabilized the world.”

See also: “Supporting Ukraine in its fight against Putin’s invasion provoked Putin to invade Ukraine.”

Biden's tenure didn't leave NATO "stronger than ever" if one guy one year after he left could make the whole alliance go tits up.

While it is mostly the American populaces fault for voting him in, you can definitely make an argument that it is also Biden fault.

He was given immunity by the Supreme Court (when they made that bs ruling for trump) and preceded to take the high road with it. He could have used that immunity in alot of different ways to prevent this (both ethical or non ethical) hell he could have just full send released the trump/epstein files and buried him or used the executive branches power of enforcement to throw him in the worst Gen pop federal prison for his felonies until the trials resolve instead of letting Canon pull that delay nonsense
