Yep. Very similarly to the stranger danger panic, people will go 'but the statistics were right there, why didn't anyone believe them?!'

Ironically, Biden has been the most legislatively successful president of my lifetime.

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law + the CHIPS act
IRA=largest climate bill ever, in the world
Codified Same Sex Marriage.
Capped Insulin to $35, & seniors drug costs capped @ $2k
PACT Act for Vets

i think one reason Mitch McConnell decided to let Biden pass bipartisan bills---a remarkable contrast from the Obama era---is because he realized it wouldn't actually help Biden politically

Crucial point in this pod chat between Brian Beutler and Matthew Yglesias: Big news orgs know how to signal to voters that they should be alarmed by something, and do this all the time. In this regard, more could be done on Trump's authoritarian threats.
