People meet difficulties, go through hard times.

Some emerge saying Christ, nobody should have to deal with that.

Some emerge saying why should anybody have it easier than me? Fuck 'em.

The first are Democrats.

The second are Republicans.

Populist Trump made ridiculous promises but got more votes in 2020 than in 2016. Daddy/Uncle Republican are just grumpy.

The anti-Democratic message: Mommy/Auntie Biden made promises but does nothing even though Democrats control Congress. Democrats are too polite/spineless/don't fight/do nothing/both sides/bring ___ to a knife fight, etc. Wah! I hate Mommy/Auntie!

"Never comes through." Oh, right. History doesn't exist.
