People are banal. American people are especially banal, because most have not experienced any want or lack for two generations. The result is such a horrific indictment on our culture - "President" Biden's popularity is still polling above 35%. The madness of this is beyond words.
When you add some economic suffering to the equation, suddenly his support on every issue will crater. The polls showing that 55% of Americans believe the election was stolen will shoot up to 75%. Support for global warming, CRT, everything will swing against the regime when snack time and nap time are disrupted for our hyper-pampered society.
