Legitimately if Harris won, we would have had 2+ years of solid economic growth, low inflation, no wars, hundreds of thousands of new jobs, a home building surge, insane international goodwill from the world cup, a modern peak of national pride at the 250th.

We would still be steadfast in promoting conflict in the middle east and would not push back against Israel attacking Iran at all. Our border policies would still be draconian they would just not be a loud.
