Totally agree. You don’t even need two years. A few weeks is enough. I remember the Biden situation as him holding on for as long as he could and then basically being pushed out. But when you read a lot of NYT commenters you start to believe that he sacrificed himself out of patriotism and planned his exit with exquisite timing.

So yes, don’t always believe history. Events that happened hundreds of years ago have gone through many spin cycles.
