In general, the problem with that narrative is that Trump was openly promising to act in ways which were guaranteed (and in fact have) raise prices and take away healthcare from people, while transferring money from the pockets of the less wealthy into those of billionaires. The US also had a better economic recovery than most other developed nations.

While it is in fact important to run government in ways which help people, a lot of what was going on was using economic concerns as a socially acceptable excuse for racism.

People being threatened while experiencing some sort of mental health crisis don't do that. Cops need to not just shout orders and threaten people, but actively deescalate to prevent unnecessary shootings.

There is a long history of most police killings being situations where officers could have deescalated but chose to shoot, or being mistaken about the presence of a gun other than their own.

The plan has always been to deport huge numbers of US citizens who aren't white enough for Vance & Miller
