Yes, he's polling poorly, but he still has the power to do what he wants. If we want to stop him, we must *build the power* to do that. Sadly, we cannot disapprove our way out of fascism.

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health

I think this is just your typical fascist regime take over using long standing racial grievances, weaponized by the slow take over of conservative media , exacerbated by neoliberalism, and decades of austerity. This is the rich using the poor to dismantle the state that would hold them accountable.
