In 2020 I voted for Trump because knew Biden would be bad.

You thought that a man with decades of successful experience as a legislator and executive would be worse than the inexperienced guy who couldn't staff his own White House and presided over the loss of more jobs and lives than in any time since the Great Depression and the Civil War, respectively?

He has done better than I expected

Maybe that should prompt some self-reflection.

He hasn’t done near as good as Trump. We are engaged in several conflicts, inflation is high, etc.

The US was engaged in a number of conflicts under Trump, including the war and occupation of Afghanistan, which were ended by Biden. Trump's administration was singularly disastrous for the United States - reductions in life expectancy, increases in the number of Americans addicted to drugs, and quite famously, fires and riots in the centers of most major cities which Trump was totally unable to control. Another thing Trump was unable to control: the spread of the novel coronavirus inside the United States.

Objectively Trump is bad at being President. I don't see how a conservative can dispute that - Trump's tenure was a riotous time in both the US and the world.

And it was proven true, so....

And it was proven true

Literally the opposite of that is what's true. The BLM riots? COVID-19? Job losses on a scale not seen since the Great Depression?

Are these not ringing any bells? I guess if you didn't open a newspaper or use a phone between 2017-2021, yeah, you'd have a lot of questions about what had been happening around you.
