Complete bullshit on both points.
1. Trump himself is the one keeping the Trump narrative alive. His malignant narcissism simply doesn't allow him to fade from the national scene and dedicate himself to something useful (nor do the investigations of his rampant criminality in NY, DC, GA and FL). Instead he continues to rile up the rubes to assuage his insatiable ego. He, a self-proclaimed builder, could contribute his time and money to Habitat for Humanity, for example. But no! He'd rather whine about a stolen election and his unfair persecution while running principled conservatives from office in favor of lunatics and fascists.
2. Biden has the greatest record of legislative achievement in the first 18 months of his presidency in modern times, whether you (or I) like the legislation or not. This is particularly noteworthy considering Democrats' razor-thin majority in Congress. To wit:
- Inflation Reduction Act
- PACT Act (addressing veterans' burn-pit exposure)
- CHIPS and Science Act
- Safer Communities Act (first meaningful gun control legislation in 30 years)
- American Rescue Plan
- Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (something Trump promised nearly every week for 4 years)
- Violence Against Women Act (allowed by Trump to expire)
All Trump got done was a ~$2 trillion tax cut for the big business and the wealthy.
Beyond that Biden:
- Reestablished our traditional alliances, treaties (NATO, Paris Climate Accords)
- Backed the right side in the Russia/Ukraine war (Trump called Putin's naked aggression there "genius," "savvy" and "wonderful.")
- Reestablished America as a beacon for democracy and not ChristoFascism (as Trump did)
- Presided over the year with the greatest job growth in American history and strongest GDP growth in nearly 40 years.
And these accomplishments pale compared to his greatest achievement - Denying Trump a second term and forestalling Trump's push towards a corrupt, violent ChristoFascist autocracy.
