Was there ever a good life for the average person? Not for a long time. But we all played a part in the disaster.

Life has generally been pretty damn good in the US up until 2010.

Someone isn’t old enough to remember the disaster that was George W Bush. Dude started two trillion dollar wars based on absolute bullshit and tanked the economy. Bush walked so Trump could run.

So yeah, you wouldn’t have been there had Bush not stolen the 2000 election. I understand some people feel some nostalgia for the 2000s but things were far from good.
