I think people blindly fondly remember the past.
Or the present is so much worse that the past seems like a better place.
Either way there’s no way people should think this odious little porker was good or anywhere near that. The guy was a fucking omnishambles and the reason the country is in such a state is because he led it there and didn’t have the balls to see it through, running off with his curly little tale between his pink fucking legs.
