The hypocrisy of FANS of presidents

Yep. We all have to sit on the fence until some obscure moment in time.

That would make sense IF the presidency had a grace period. It doesn't. We won't know the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of policies yet but we know some of what happens at the front end.

And, technically, the effectiveness of many administrations' policies can't be assessed in terms of effectiveness until years later, sometimes after that president is out of office. It's just like the effectiveness of other social policies and programs. You can't assume they were effective and you can't assess the effectiveness too soon.
