Trump's supporter base has mostly dwindled down to the most devoted but lost a lot of the casual supporters.
Yes, I can see your point. Who do you think can fill the void in the republican party and what is your outlook on the republican party in the coming years? I feel like there are no potential canidates on both sides, that are apealing.
I believe the only means for him to get into the office now would have to come from an attempt to overturn election results.
Yes

I am grateful, but i won't thank him.
To say thanks is to literally express gratitude, lol.
"I like what he did, and I'd thank him if he were a Republican, but I won't thank him because he's a Democrat."

Also didn't biden say he would remove the travel bans and masking only to keep them on? Hell, I've gone maskless since 2021 but that's only because we actually had a governor who cared enough to invalidate local masking orders and remove the statewide one as well.
Most Americans live in counties with transmission rates low enough that the CDC doesn't think masking is needed (under normal circumstances). It has been that way for a long time. I guess to rationalize being mad at Biden, one has to make up problems.

Yes, my displeasure at a virus that was dragged out for too long is clearly a made up problem.

Being displeased at the Biden's administration's handling of the pandemic is actually a made-up problem. I'm not sure what else you want from them.

I mean, considering they dragged it out for a year too long, it isn't made up.

People lost their lives, killed themselves because they were stuck in isolation. I'm sorry, but if you think this is a made up problem, then you need help.

Also, maybe I wanted them to not overplay the virus and end it much earlier than they did.

Look, I'll be completely honest, Covid was as bad in the first year, but once they made the vaccinations, things should have gone away.

Sure it can mutate, but that's when we do the flu shot method, create a new shot every year to protect against it.

Maybe things would have gone better if the previous administration hadn't mishandled the pandemic. :unsure:

Nearly 1 million Americans died.

Unfortunately, the conservatives in this country got really antivax and killed themselves by not taking it. I'm not sure how that's Biden's fault.

To be honest I didn't notice any mishanding, people were stupid and died, not my problem.

Nearly 1 million people a year die from AIDS, but we aren't shutting down everything because of those deaths.

Yes, there are anti vax people who are complete dumbasses, but lets call out the fact they're conservatives instead of the fact they were anti vax idiots. Completely true and not biased at all.

You can read my posts in the 2020 presidential election thread, as well as the COVID-19 thread, explaining how the pandemic was utterly mishandled by the Trump administration. Among numerous other things, Trump told people to go about their business as usual, described it as only the flu, was anti-mask, and did pretty much everything he could to court antivax voters without outright coming out against the vaccine (going as far as to hide the fact he was vaccinated). They had virtually no plan to roll out the vaccine, and he also suggested ingesting bleach might be an effective treatment against COVID-19.

Nearly 1 million people a year die from AIDS, but we aren't shutting down everything because of those deaths.
  1. HIV isn't spread via casual contact.
  2. Approximately 16,000 Americans die from complications related to HIV/AIDS each year, not "nearly 1 million."
  3. A person will generally live a normal life with HIV if they treat it properly.

You should check out the polling. The antivaxxers are very disproportionately Trump supporting conservatives. Sorry if it's inconvenient, but antivaxxers are a right-wing problem in this country.

That was Trump, not the conservatives in general, nice try trying to blame us for what trump did.

1. I mean, covid isn't either, just don't cough on them.
2. I did look it up this time, but the source probably was meant for the entire world, so I was most likely wrong here. I am sorry for that.
3. A person will generally also live a normal life with Covid if they treat it properly. It only kills 1% of the population.

You mean extreme right wing.

Trump voters are extreme right wing, we here are in the normal right wing, and we should not be associated with them.

Uh, he's pretty much the de facto leader of the conservatives and the Republican Party. Also, the conversation is about who mishandled the pandemic: Trump. Please keep up.

1. I mean, covid isn't either, just don't cough on them.
COVID-19 is 100% spread through casual contact. That's one of the reasons it is/was such a big problem. I suggest you read up on just how contagious it is, particularly the later variants.

You mean extreme right wing.
No, I don't. I mean the Republican Party in general.

Trump voters are extreme right wing
The vast majority of Republican voters in this country are "extreme right wing" then.

and we should not be associated with them.
Your represent a very tiny minority of Republican voters.

Hello,

I wanted to add that I no longer believe that Biden is one of the greatest presidents of the USA of all time. In fact Biden seems to be not the president at all.

If a US President keeps vowing to do something, and his aides keep insisting he won't, no one is sure what to believe -- a potential dangerous state of affairs on fraught international issues.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/23/politics/biden-china-taiwan-explainer/index.html

How can he be the president if his aides can speak for him, and reverse his bold and brave strategic moves? Someone else seems to be ruling, but it surely is not biden. Who are these people?

That's not a real issue that can be resolved through the president. Gas prices also peaked at a crazy high rate under Bush because of the wars that were started. This should be an issue that drives people to want to change how the oil industry manipulates prices during wartime. Again, these prices are set by private industry, not by the president.
Sadly, people tend to blame the president for things he doesn't control. When regular people are frustrated, they look for a way to vent that frustration, and the ballot box tends to be a popular choice. This is normal, if not productive. What's new is that only one party still believes the results at the ballot box matter, and that's going to be a big problem for the country going forward, regardless of who gets the Democratic and Republican nominations.
