I personally have a lot of anger at Trump too. I will never vote for anyone who even somewhat supported lockdowns at any point beyond ~2 weeks. Unfortunately this means basically every politician.

We made a choice to transfer quality-of-life-years from the young (who already have less money and opportunity) to the olds who are parasites on our country. "Write me my $5k/month check or else. Pay for all my medical care or else. Btw our net worth is on average $1.4mm but no means-testing allowed. Thanks for the money, now I can hang onto my house for longer so you have no cheap place to settle down."

The biggest "class war" is between young and old. I will not support anyone who fails to recognize this. Trump is included in this group. Basically nobody I know had the foresight to oppose lockdowns from the start. Saying "that was a mistake" now is too little too late.

I still assign more blame to those who supported them longer and later. It is wrong but more defensibly so to have supported initial lockdowns once we knew we could either trade the young for the old or the old for the young.
