There was a post on the Don Surber blog about that question that Reagan asked in 1980. It was credited at least partly for his victory in that election. Four years later, people must have felt better off, because they returned Reagan to the White House in an historic landslide.
The interesting part of that post wasn't that, however. It was that the same question was put forth to the public in a poll, and the answer was that well over 50 % of the public felt better off in July, in the middle of the so-called pandemic, than they did four years ago. Yet Trump is supposed to be losing. How can this be?
The curious thing about that poll is that so many people felt better off when they were supposed to be super fearful of this virus. Very odd it seems to me.
The other curious thing is that the same poll was conducted during Obama's reelection in 2012. Trump's numbers are better than Obama's were. But Trump is supposed to be behind. Obama won fairly easily.
Why would they return Obama to the White House, but not Trump? That is very strange.
Perhaps this question doesn't matter any more? Or would people rather suffer than to be happy? But that doesn't answer the question as to why Trump won in the first place. If the reason Obama was returned was because of race, then Hillary did that too. It didn't work for her, why should it work for Biden?
Somewhere there was this assertion that Biden is more likable than Hillary. But is that so? What is so likable about Joe Biden?
Female Secret Service agents complain about his swimming in the nude. I noted his strange mannerisms during the debates in 2012. The guy is a creep.
Then there are all of the false accusations being made against Trump. There are always going to be these, but the ones against Trump are especially aggressive. After all, the man was impeached. He was impeached over the thinnest of pretexts in a kangaroo court process that resembled a Star Chamber. Perhaps people have forgotten that already since it was flushed down the memory hole.
It isn't just Trump who is being unfairly accused. There's General Flynn. There's that couple defending themselves LEGALLY against the mob, but who are now charged with a crime. Meanwhile, the authorities won't crack down on the riots. What is a person supposed to do? Let themselves become another Reginald Denny, who was beaten near the point of death for merely being the wrong color person in the wrong place at the wrong time during the Rodney King riots in 1992? Are people not allowed to defend themselves anymore?
The world is turned upside down. The guilty are rewarded. The innocent are punished.
If people feel that they are better off today, then how does N.Y. Gov. Cuomo get to be a hero when he put infected people in with the elderly people in a nursing home during this so-called pandemic? It is an example of the maladmistration of Democrats, who have made shutdowns their rallying cry, and to which Hanoi Jane Fonda said that the virus was God's Gift to Democrats. How does bad judgment become a reason to call someone a hero? Is Hanoi Jane now a hero? To some she is. But Cuomo knows he's wrong. He gave those nursing homes immunity. Why would he do that if the did the right thing?
Perhaps something has snapped in the American mind. Perhaps people have become so twisted with this debauched culture that they feel they must be punished and must be killed off in order to expiate their guilt. But they sure don't want to die themselves. Otherwise, why wear the masks? But maybe they know down deep that the masks are useless. The Democrats know this too, because of all their carping criticism, they let the cat out of the bag with the Secret Service business. If they were wearing masks and Trump was wearing a mask, then what danger were they in? Could it be that the masks don't work?
During Soviet Union times, the Russians had a saying. It was this: "We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us." Are we now like those Russians who played pretend games? Do we pretend to believe things that are not so, and pretend not to believe things that are?
If people voted the same way as they did in 1984, Trump should win. Why do the polls show otherwise? Are the polls right? Have people decided that it is more important to be WORSE OFF than before? Are people incapable of being rational anymore? You are better off than before Trump, but that is insufficent reason to return him for four more years? You are racist even if you didn't hurt anybody ever?
What could explain such a twisted development of a Biden victory? He doesn't draw big crowds. People are enthused for Trump, but where's the enthusiasm for Biden? It just doesn't add up to a Biden victory. But according to these polls, there it is.
