You have completely forgot that under Trump people couldn’t even pay their rent and groceries. It wasn’t “at the expense of everything else.” It was not even being able to pay rent much less anything else. It went to “I’ll be dead on the streets in a few months under Trump.” to “I can pay for rent and groceries but can’t save anything under Biden so Biden is worse.”
This argument has been enlightening. The fact you are downvoted shows that even on left leaning platform like lemmy, on a politically oriented community, people are still deluded.
It’s fascinating to watch.
PS: even if all of what the other people are claiming was true (which it isn’t), “do nothing” should still be preferable to “I’m going to destroy the economy so my friends can pick up the pieces: Here’s 5 terrible ideas that will make things more expensive while I raise your taxes to give Elon some subsidies”.
