In January of this year, our southern border was secure with a great deal of substandard fencing being replaced with modern border walls. Our infection rates in the current crazy were going down thanks to Operation Warp Speed’s bouncing little bundle of joy. Those who blamed China for it were silenced on social media. Energy and fuel costs were low, and we were building a major new pipeline. Our economy was booming and unemployment rates were sinking. Republicans were protesting election fraud and Democrats were calling them Insurrectionists. Russia wasn’t building a new pipeline into Europe because we vetoed it. Afghanistan was mostly stable with minimal terror attacks. What a difference seven months makes.
