40 years ago this would have resulted in a 50-state landslide.
Maybe he needs to resurrect those Reagan commercials from 1984, Its Morning Again In America. Call the question. Get people to really ask themselves real questions and get the f u ck away from the stupid questions where no one can back up their answers with anything factual.
Things that are still troubling now have been troubling for years. Decades. Since the adoption of the constitution in some cases. But the things we normally look at as an indicator of which way the political winds blow today are mostly trending positive. Quite positive in some ways. When we add jobs, lower unemployment, keep inflation in check and the price of gas drops ALL AT THE SAME TIME, that means the economy is performing as most Americans want it to perform. Yes we still leave far too many behind, but those people have been left behind for the entire lives of everyone alive. That isn't any different than the year 2000, or 1990, or 1980, or 1950.
I know the argument here is the polls are meaningless, and a part of me agrees with that. But it is troubling that not only is Biden trailing trump in some, mostly trustable, polls (at least as far as their past reputations and methodology), it is actually more troubling that he does not have a lead over trump that is similar to trump's lead over the rest of the field. He really SHOULD win this election with electoral college results AND popular vote totals like Nixon and LBJ did, seeing as he is likely facing an actual, real traitor. And for those who believe the polls should be considered totally meaningless, do any of you NOT believe trump is going to run the table in the primaries, just as the polls currently show?
I know many here believe the left is ascendant and the right is dying off. But look at the real picture. Sure, younger people are more open minded and close-minded bigots are old and getting older. But while the left makes slow movement, a foot or two here or there, an AOC or an effective Gretchen Whitmer there, fascists are getting ready to compromise nearly half -- or maybe even a little more than half -- of the electorate in another 10 months. Who would have said that when Newt Gingrich was the flavor of the day? Or even when the Tea Party first came on the scene. 75,000,000 people voted for a known grifter and the most corrupt president ever in 2020. When he revealed himself to be an actual flesh and blood traitor, they all doubled down and for nearly 4 years now we all knew his party was going to put him up again in 2024. THAT is half of your country my friends.
trump's first term was a disaster. The most corrupt and law-breaking president we have ever seen. Fortunately the damage was such that a few years of sanity could wash much of it away. If he wins a second term does anyone here not believe it will be exponentially worse? Whatever calamity awaits the world will make covid look like a mild winter cold. I really wish the lion's share of the anti-trump people were in the "by any means necessary" camp. When the time comes that they WISH they were, it will probably be too late.
