A Times/Siena College Poll ID's Some of the Stupidest Americans in the Country
Trump is favored over Biden by 48% to 43%.
In late February, The New York Times and Siena College polled voters “across the country,” and 48 percent of respondents said that they felt Donald Trump was more fit to lead the country through its current “troubles.” They also stated that he seems more capable of getting the country back on track than Biden, whom a majority feel is doing a terrible job and has turned the U.S. into a bumbling, laughing stock.
At first, a wave of anger rushed over me like a tsunami wave washes away beachfront property. I delved into the comments of the respondents.
“It’s going to be a very tough decision — I’m seriously thinking about not voting,” said Mamta Misra, 57, a Democrat and an economics professor in Lafayette, La., who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020. “Trump voters are going to come out no matter what. For Democrats, it’s going to be bad. I don’t know why they’re not thinking of someone else (Voters Doubt Biden’s Leadership).”
My takeaway from the above comment by a Democrat and an “economics professor” in Louisiana tells me this: This guy should either be fired because he is a fraud who knows absolutely nothing about economics, or he spent the period of 2017 to 2021 stuck underground in a Chilean mine with hundreds of others who took part in this poll. My brain cannot twist itself enough or ignite synapses fast enough to understand what these adults, and I assume sane individuals, are thinking. Suppose you were present on the Earth and conscious during the Trump presidency and post-presidency. In that case, you would have at least a faint hint of how simply unfit this human being is, not just for the presidency of the United States but for bathing alone.
Mamta Misra is the rare kind of stupid that makes me want to volunteer my family and myself for a mission to Mars. How does he think he is helping the country by not casting a vote for Biden in November? The university where he teaches should immediately remove him from its economics department. It is impossible to say that the economy is struggling, let alone going in the wrong direction.
Biden’s policies pushed the country through the post-COVID inflation bubble faster than all other developed nations, which are now struggling to contain it, but everything he has done to date is geared toward helping working families and the middle class. Trump’s only economic “program” went to helping himself and his super-rich class. His tax cuts were the largest in history and benefitted only the super-rich. There was no trickle-down to the middle or working classes because “trickle-down” stopped working after the U.S. transitioned from a developing economy to a developed one around 1940. Massive tax cuts lift the boat for no one but the super-rich and this has been proven repeatedly since 1980.
Consider the following comment by a Puerto Rican business owner — a guy who speaks accented English and would likely be yelled at if he ran up against a rally of MAGidiots — “Go back to where you came from!”
Mr. Rivera, who is Puerto Rican, said he doesn’t like the way Mr. Trump talks about immigration and the southern border, but is planning to vote for him anyway. “Biden? I don’t know,” Mr. Rivera said. “It looks like we’re weak, America’s weak. We need someone stronger (Voters Doubt Biden’s Leadership).”
Where the hell do we look weak? How much crack is this guy smoking or, and I will bet after seeing what Mr. Rivera looks like, he is getting his information from high-school-educated roofers who ingest Fox News in toxic quantities. Rivera owns his business and so probably wants his white MAGidiots employees to like him. I am sure he is a hard worker who has little time to dig into the nuance of policies and political realities, so he just listens to his employees,and that forms his opinions.
If you look like this guy in Trump’s America, you have to be doing some fancy footwork not to be shunned by white, Trumpist roofers — ones he needs to grow his business.
The amazing thing about all of these polls is how fantastically misinformed all of these people are and, more so, how clueless they all seem to the reality of Trump. Am I in the middle of a nightmare, and Trump was never real? Perhaps I am a raving maniac, and those of you agreeing with me are taking pity on a human losing it in public by ranting about an ex-president who is really a good one? I struggle to believe that people are so stupid to actually think Trump did a good job the first time and that he will do better the second time.
The following comment by an anesthesiologist in Georgia is the kind of insanity that makes me want to file a complaint to someone and have this guy lose his license for putting people under.
“I understand that my vote or lack of vote carries a consequence, and I look at the alternative and that’s worse than the current thing,” Dr. [Philip] Kalarickal said. “But I do want to register my displeasure. The way I vote doesn’t mean I like it (Voters Doubt Biden’s Leadership).”
So this guy is so far up his own ass that he needs to feel “good” by not voting and risking ending the nation’s democracy. When the country dissolves into a fascist nightmare, and the dangerous shit show of a second Trump presidency is unfolding, will this guy be brave enough to admit that he chose not to vote for Biden when his colleagues complain about the chaos wrought by Trump? Of course, he won’t.
Many of the respondents in the poll called Trump a good leader. Once I read this, I became convinced that these people had been living in an underground mine from 2017 to pretty much now. No one who has worked with Trump will say he is a “good leader.” They all say, even people who support him, that he is a self-obsessed narcissist who is likely a sociopath. I served in the army and then was commissioned. Every leader knows that you lead by example.
Trump is incapable of accepting responsibility for his actions. He refused to govern, leaving it up to pretty much anyone, and every decision he made revolved around how it would benefit him personally.
What the f*** is going on? Are the Biden people just not communicating? Are they readying us for an explosion of advertising that will inform these people fresh up from below the earth? Finally, I think if he got rid of Kamala Harris and replaced her with Gretchen Whitmer, Michelle Obama, or Gavin Newsom, Biden’s position would be greatly enhanced.
