It seems like we are watching the (slow) de-legitimization of American liberal democracy unfold. At least from my perspective. For example, the other day, my normally progressive-liberal parents were talking about how they would prefer to live in China at this point. It put me off guard ngl. People are losing faith, even if Biden's win has given many a brief dose of copeium. What do y'all think?
Oh yeah, they'll do that. They were already blaming everything on Trump before the election with Biden's staff saying they would need to balance the budget and cut deficit spending.
Problem is, nearly half the country voted for Trump. Over 70 million people, more than he got in 2016. When he's a memory to the oval office, people aren't going to sit there and want to hear all the blame deflected.
Dems are expected to actually do something this time around and Biden lacks the charisma of Obama when it comes to selling bullshit. Given how they squandered the senate and lost key seats in the house in this past election, everything is shaping up for them to get destroyed in midterms and run another wet fart of a presidential campaign for 2024. We're really just counting down the days at this point for when we get full blown fascism in the US, and it's coming.
Just to let you know 70 million is only about 20-25% of the US population. It's a lot but nowhere near a majority.
The voting populace is the best sample size we can get for the country.
It's fair to say almost half the country wants Trump if almost half the people who voted, voted for him.
Doesn't that exclude nonvoters though?
