If sane and competent gets you a decline in living standards year on year then it ain't all that attractive.
Well good news there, you won't have a moderate decline in living standards now.
I kind of think that we don't have an argument here. Trump is obviously the worse of two choices. It's just that the Democrat offering is not actually a good choice, just a less bad one. Unless you're a member of the bourgeoisie.
I am going to have a moderate decline in living standards because I live in the UK. Where our supposedly centre-left government have just decided to cut benefit payments to the disabled rather than raise taxes.
