I think Trump benefits from COVID's weird effects on societal memory (tho less so among online political obsessives). We do a terrible job of remembering the pandemic, and also any weirdness and failure gets blamed on the virus, as if Trump hadn't been personally responsible for so very much of it.

I suspect it’s even more stark: Trump’s benefiting from a generalized nostalgia for the world before COVID.
