You mean the guy who never did an honest days work in his entire life is fooling people for personal gain?
Color me shocked.

I'm standing here as an ostensibly respectable working class American wondering just what the fuck Trump has ever done for me and my economic situation, ever, even in his first 4 years in office. Jack monkey squat, is what I'm coming up with. I didn't get any richer under Trump, I didn't get any freedoms back, and my country certainly got demonstrably more fucked.

My taxes went up to help offset his cuts for real estate and corporations

That's because you have something the vast majority of Trump voters lack: critical thinking skills.
-
If you look at what he promised instead of what he delivered, he was the best president ever.

-
He was openly racist enough the worst people in society felt seen and they will love him forever for it

particularly if he (trump) gets a mulligan for what happened during the COVID pandemic
That shit was entirely down to his mismanagement and dismantling of time-tested Obama era pandemic prevention protections and protocols proven to prevent exactly what happened. That IS absolutely his fault.
Nearly three-quarters of Republicans, moreover, agreed that “since the 1950s, American culture and way of life has mostly changed for the worse.”
Again, this is something Democrats have done more to fix by supporting unions, wages and workers, whereas Republicans have caused these problems by championing low wages and goddamned child labor, reduced consumer protections, a broken supreme court and everything else their lobbyists have paid them to get out there and into law.
There's definite issues with corporate money on both sides of the aisle, but anyone believing for a second that Christo-fascist right wing assholes aren't trying to launch us headlong into a full mega-corporate dystopian future needs to evacuate soul and rapture themselves off this fucking planet. The rest of us don't need their bullshit, and honestly could use the air and breathing room they are wasting.
Grow some balls and send yourself to meet your maker by your own bootstraps if you've got such a boner for that shit.

Fascist gonna fascist, just like the moderate Italians wanted the trains to run on time. Or moderates in Austria and Germany wanted a better stable currency/economy.
The moderates in america are gonna get tricked for low gas prices.
It's a tale as old as time.

We're here because of policies he inacted during his presidency. Every fucking time Democrats have to spend 8 years cleaning up the messes the Republicans make then get blame for them.
Hell we're still trying to fix the economy after "trickle down" economics was started by Reagan nearly 40 years ago.
Correct.
To be fair, the inverse is often true as well - mostly because the US is so divided in left vs right. So when the power swings to the other hand, they just spend a bunch of time un-doing what the other party did to appease their voter base. Neither party actually cares about the well being of common people. It's always just a "lesser of two evils" pick.
The only way out of this (imo) is to unite with each other, or at the very least find some common ground with each other, instead of continuing to run in this hamster wheel of left vs right tribalism.

Trying to undo the removal of net neutrality or the removal of environmental protections are VERY different from trying to undo the affordable care act or undoing roe v wade.
If you can’t see the difference then lol.
