Imagine if Biden had not been the candidate at all.

Still, I am hoping (against all hope) that the people of the U.S. will turn before it is too late...

Yes, also think that politicians - of all convictions - need to start thinking about people and community and not about themselves, power and money.
This is, sadly, not something that is particular for the U.S. It is everywhere, and Putin, Xi, and other wannabe autocrats, are celebrating.

Might be the same 30+% that believe that "Grocery prices are starting to go rapidly down. Rent is down. Airfares are down. Hotel rates are down. Cell phone prices are down."

By historical markers, the U.S. appears to be in an early #fascist phase, not yet irreversible.

What to say...

I completely agree.
However, 49% of the U.S population is against abolishing #ICE.
31% disapprove of the protests against ICE, and the same percentage are not worried of mistreatments, and think ICE shall wear masks...
Perhaps they really like what they voted for?😥
