    Like, I know Biden is not that great, but at least the slow collapse of the country isn’t being put in your face every day like it was with Trump.

    I can’t think of a single other president in my 32 years on this planet that I can say that the end of their time in office acutely improved my mental health.

      Noted, but if you work for a wage, you’re living the collapse of the country every day. You’re likely paying 2.5x more for groceries now than you did in 2020. Permanent $3 gas is here. You’re also likely paying for those things with 2-3 jobs.

      What you guys don’t get is that it doesn’t matter that Trump was a bad president. Too many people are living in a bad presidency, and they’re going to want change.

        Those aren’t Presidential decisions. You’re describing capitalism run riot.

        How does Biden raise the price of goods across the board while companies make record profits?

        Maybe if he didn’t do horrible things to benefit himself at our expense every day the media wouldn’t have been having a field day. I mean, every word and every action that guy makes is 100% about boosting himself up and knocking everyone else down. Hard not to report on all that when the guy that’s supposed to be leading us and improving things is sabotaging and grifting us in plain sight. Ya know?
