Propaganda comes in many forms 1) Active Promotion or direct bullshit 2) Active Silence Hannity or reality avoidance. Both are exercises in propaganda.
Hannity, who spent years touting the stock market as a Trump accomplishment, now downplays the S&P hitting a record high
Trump inherited the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. In his first two years in office, there were 4.5 million new jobs created, according to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“We have created a record 12 million new jobs — more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years,” Biden said.
So despite Trump’s strong start, Biden created more than two-and-a-half times the number of jobs as Trump in their first two years in office.
Will Joe Biden be re-elected in 2024? With his current approval rating in the cellar, most pundits assume he will be toast by the next presidential election. At 81, he would also be the oldest person ever elected president, slightly exceeding the typical American’s lifespan.
So, the conventional thinking goes, Biden will be demolished by Donald Trump (or a Trump surrogate such as the Texas senator Ted Cruz or the Florida governor Ron DeSantis), thereby subjecting the US and the world to an even crazier authoritarian than Trump 1.0.
In other words, in fiscal year 2021, it appears that migrants are continuing to enter the United States in the same numbers as in fiscal year 2019 — plus the pent-up demand from people who would have come in fiscal year 2020, but for the pandemic. That’s visible in the first figure, earlier, in which the blue trend line for the five months of data available for fiscal year 2021 (October, November, December, January and February) neatly reflects the trend line for fiscal year 2019 — plus the difference between fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2019.
