Hate to say it, but Trump's drama did far less harm than Biden's policies have. Not to mention odds are good Biden won't last another term leaving us stuck with a legit idiot as President.

Biden keeps making blunder after blunder trying to appease the extreme left or buy votes via canceling loan contracts. The middle doesn't buy the hate America or inflationary policies.

By contrast, Trump plays to his supporters and those he perceived to be open via his mishmash on abortion.

Trump tries for the middle, though not in his party; while Joe seems oblivious there is a middle.

Trump seems to hate anyone who identified as Republican and does not support HIM, whether or not they vote for him


On the other hand, he has no animosity towards moderate Dems.

Biden doesn't seem to know there's a middle or ends.

Free/independent thinking people are their own worst enemy. While an admirable notion, current House Republicans are the result. Individualism before greater good to the extreme and counterproductive level.

I'm all about free/independent thinking. At the same time, when it's time to pull together as a team for survival, I understand that equally as well. We've had our way for so long we've forgotten what gives it to us and that it is under threat and must be defended. An organization will ALWAYS take down individuals one at a time at it's leisure.
