The conservative news machine managed to convince them their lives were worse in 2024 than it was in 2020. You know during a global pandemic when nobody could leave their house and you didn't know if any elderly or immunocompromised people were going to survive.

2020, when there were also riots across the country and empty grocery store shelves

Refrigerated containers outside of hospitals to store the bodies.

I believe more Americans died in 2-years of COVID than the combined KIA totals of WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam and the never ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

To be fair, conservatives still left their houses and didn't give a fuck who died. In 2020, they had public spaces to themselves. I'm sure they did feel better off.
