    It’s absurd because Biden wasn’t doing anything, like he was upholding the status quo, with limited efforts to patch up some issues.

    Trump is straight up trying to gut the federal government and sell it for parts as well as legitimately trying to take away people’s rights, if not straight up make their existence a crime.

    He’s also trying to do this with a pretty weak mandate. Most people who did want him wanted him for a specific policy and ignored the rest.

    So he’s creating a huge amount of backlash while only appeasing a small group with each action.

      He won because the dems did NOTHING to tackle the cost of living crisis all Americans were suffering. They completely lost their chance by sitting on their hands for 4 years. Of course they were gonna lose.

        That and also funding and covering for a probably genocidal campaign in Gaza, including covering up a deliberately inflicted famine and then attacking and locking up all the students that complained about it.

        Who knew that locking up one of the most active parts of your own base would have a negative impact on your own election?
