I call bullshit on this. One poll says this in 2022, a midterm year. Wait till it's actually 2024 and both Rs and Ds and howling "it's the most important election ever." Americans don't vote for a candidate, they vote against the candidate they dislike. Conservatives think Biden is a communist traitor to America and libs think Trump is the most dangerous man on the planet. Consent machine will go burrr and both parties will fall in line and the election will be decided by "independents" in 6 states like every year.

I think you're selling the cult-like followings of folks like Bush, Obama, Hillary, and Trump (and Bernie if we're being generous) far too short. I'll spot you that there are some swing voters who will turn on a particular issue in disgust (NAFTA voters turning on Bush Sr in the 90s and then on the Clintons thereafter). But they're easy to court, as guys like Trump and Obama demonstrated. And, if you play your cards right, they'll be slavishly loyal long after your appeal has worn thin.
Conservatives think Biden is a communist traitor to America
No they don't. The QAnon weirdos think this. The mainstream conservatives just don't like him because he's batting for the wrong team. They'd be perfectly happy to put him up as Senator-for-Life in Iowa or Kentucky, alongside the mummified remains of Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell, if he'd had an (R) after his name.
libs think Trump is the most dangerous man on the planet
They think he's the most annoying man on the planet. And only because guys like Cruz and Crenshaw haven't been getting 24/7 airtime coverage for the last 10 years.

With the degree to which a handful of moguls can control discourse, I think the country is increasingly ripe for another Ross Perot bid. Just a question of which Michael Bloomberg has the Michael Bloombergs to Michael Bloomberg it.
