Do you live in the south or a rural part of the US? They give zero fucks how racist Biden is and think he isn't being racist enough. Republican constituency are a lot like libs who only like wars and bloodshed when their guy is doing it. Instead they're angry over their money going to Israel and Ukraine, bad economy, and the perceived weakness of America against the Houthis. They're also mad about "woke culture" even though Biden has been the complete opposite of that. Just him being a Democrat makes them think he pushes it.

I've talked to people who think he made Covid regulations even stricter when it's been the complete opposite. Never underestimate the vibes-based politics of right-wingers and the "apolitical" types that tend to follow them.

Republicans are a cockroach in politics that are always expected to be on the verge of death and then manage to come back when people least expect it. Happened during reconstruction, Post-ww2, Post-Great Society, and Post-Obama.

Actual actions mean very little in American politics, Biden hasn't had a racist enough aesthetic to benefit off his racism electorally.

I think you underestimate just how much the average hog hates Biden and how much he's obliterating support among voting blocs that typically vote for Dem candidates.

The national security state wants Biden and will push the scale to make a Biden victory happen.

I have been saying this for a while: the Democrats are eating the Republican Party’s lunches - from racism, immigration, to warmongering and “fighting terrorism”, and support for the police force. It’s hard to think that this is not a deliberate strategy.

There is a reason why the Republicans have gone crazy with the abortion issues and anti-trans legislation - not that they haven’t been doing those cryptically, but because these are the only fringe issues left for them to rally their increasingly deranged chud supporters.

Even more, Biden has delivered the best performance yet for the richest of the donor class. $1 trillion handout from 5% interest rate hike, S&P500 at record heights (50% higher than Trump’s highest point just 3 years ago, can you believe that), and not only that, they managed to screw the working class and especially the black and Hispanic communities while upper middle class white families benefited most from Biden’s policies.

The rich absolutely relishes in screwing the lower class. It’s not just enough to make more money, they have to kick the ladder along the way to quench some unspeakable ghoulish urge. And Biden gave them just that - black unemployment has gone up while white unemployment has gone down, as one example.

At least for the smart Republicans who want to keep black people out of their neighborhoods, Biden has delivered. Trump likes to talk big but his achievements had been pale in comparison.

Having said that, I don’t know why the Democrats are so worried about Biden losing though. Them wanting to bar Trump from running in certain states suggests some concerns about Biden’s electability, and this can only backfire on them if they’re not careful.

i mean Trump did do the 'poisoning blood' thing

It's inevitable that the Republican Party will wither away, as they are the backward force representing less developed areas in the U.S. and they lag behind the tide of imperialism (opposition to Ukraine support, “America first,” support to troops only nationalistically) represented by the Democratic Party which has its support in the big cities and undoubtedly holds the majority base. Republicans are only kept around as a “bad cop” to rally support for the Democrats and prevent the emergence of an alternative movement.

We’ve seen progressive legal action taken recently by several Democratic states to remove Trump from the primary/Presidential ballot, which you could say won’t have much impact on the election considering how things are run in the U.S., and might even be overturned when the Supreme Court weighs in. At the same time it is the central government that’s been peddling the Jan. 6 insurrection myth, so you could take this to mean that the feds understand the Republicans should be vilified but still given the potential of taking power, while Democratic states/local officials are not clued in and take the federal government’s statements to their logical conclusion.

You can never be sure what will happen in the future, as Biden or Trump might die or whatever else, but I have $400 on Trump losing and I’m pretty lucky, so I’d write that down as a lock.
