This doesn't surprise me, but only because of the differences in the mindset of so many of the people who voted for Trump, especially the second time around, compared to people who voted for Biden.

So many Trump supporters have an unhealthy bootlicking enamorement with an unscrupulous politician. Trump loves this because he models himself after authoritarian and fascist political figures, even to the point that it encourages his followers to go along with sacreligious idolatry and abandon the moral tenets of their faith to instead follow Trump, and even if he and other accomplices were willing to tear our democratic republic and Constitution to shreds in order to "win".

People who voted for Biden are a little more inclined to be more critical in their viewpoints of Biden. They will say that he is remarkably better than Trump, but Biden needs to do x, y, and z more competently and not bend to every demand of the far right in his "negotiations". Biden is rather old guard and corporate and the far left do not look at Biden and say "there's our man." But they will support him long before they support Trump.

They will say that he is remarkably better than Trump, but Biden needs to do x, y, and z more competently and with more spine against far right fascism which has become more of a threat in the United States just like it has in much of the world. Biden is rather old guard and corporate and the far left do not look at Biden and say "there's our man." But they will support him long before they support Trump.

So Biden just needs to be more radical. Nothing more. Gotcha.

Hair? Mean tweets? You cannot be serious. Of course, you wouldn’t think it has anything to do with his mishandling of the pandemic, for starters.

Hopefully whatever Democrat runs will lose after the performance of this administration. Many friends of mine have turned from Democrat to Conservative thanks to Biden.

I agree, one bad for another. I do think Biden is doing much more harm than Trump did. Trump couldn’t actually do much because he had everyone from the establishment against him.

Why? Biden is literally costing you dollars out of your pocket and making the country less safe and stable. Despite what the media narrative, Trump didn’t do any of those things. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of Trump but he at least did some things that helped the average American. Meanwhile pretty much everything Biden has done is throwing us under the bus.

Well, I think it could be looked at a couple of ways. Was he too positive about it. Maybe, but then again, maybe his positivity kept the markets from crashing. That would have just compounded things big time. We needed someone positive in leadership, he just didn’t do a good job displaying it in a presidential way.

Outside of that, what did he do wrong? Biden certainly hasn’t been the savior you thought he would be. It’s an airborne virus with a low kill rate. What are supposed to do?

Saying Trump is more popular than Biden after Biden beat him in the election is like giving Trump and his followers a participation trophy! Congratulations... for nothing!
