A lot of what conservatives perceive as Biden's "failures" are actually Biden and his wing getting what they want, i.e. the border. Biden hasn't failed there, Democrats are steadily increasing their electorate
Biden has "failed" at handling the pandemic in the sense that the economy is slower to recover but he has successfully convinced his supporters that the unvaccinated and the non-compliant are kulaks, thus empowering the federal government to treat them like domestic terrorists
Conservatives think in dollar signs, the other side thinks in terms of transforming institutions
"Name one thing Biden is doing better than Trump!"
Why would Biden govern like Trump?
Biden is moving the ball so far and so fast that any short term losses (popularity in polls) will be worth the long-term gains

Exclusive: Sources reveal South Dakota governor and potential 2024 VP candidate Kristi Noem is having an extramarital affair with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. amgreatness.com/2021/09/28/kri…
This follows the AP report that Noem held a meeting with her daughter and officials the same day the daughter got a letter from a state agency rejecting her application for a real estate credential. South Dakota’s attorney general has announced that he’s looking into the matter.
Before that, Noem excused caving to the transgender lobby and corporate vaccine mandates by saying it was not in keeping with conservative principles to use "big government" to do anything her supporters wanted.
Trump has placed Susie Wiles, a managing partner at Ballard Partners, in charge of overseeing fundraising and endorsements. Problem is, Ballard has deep ties to the GOP establishment and has made its fortunes lobbying on behalf of state-owned Chinese businesses and interests 1/
Ballard himself was a top fundraiser for John McCain and Mitt Romey, also backed Jeb Bush. Ballard and Susie Wiles have latched onto the Trump movement to continue their grift, and Trump has told people, "Susie is in charge" 2/ rumble.com/vmu4i7-exclusi…
Susie, of course, works closely with Kushner confidant Bill Stepien. There's a lot more and I'm going to be writing an article about this and how it ties into the broader Trump grift that threatens to kill a genuine anti-establishment movement from the right 3/
The GOP wants to blame Biden for a problem it can solve on the southern border
Kristi Noem bragged about sending a National Guard unit to the border all the way from South Dakota. Greg Abbott also did a small deployment. Even Ron DeSantis sent state troopers from Florida 1/
Of course, these deployments were for show. But it has put the GOP in a bad (for them) place: 1) all of these deployments were PR stunts 2) but in doing these PR stunts, they also showed us that the GOP isn't powerless--they can exercise tremendous power 2/
The GOP wants to keep the focus on Biden because the GOP does not want to be pressured by Americans to go beyond publicity stunts and actually use the tools it has to secure the border. Ignore every single talking head that says otherwise 3/
On a plane and the guy next to me just bitched about how the people next to him and behind him aren't wearing N95 masks, and when I asked what he expects the flight attendants to do (throw them out of the plane?) he just kept hysterically complaining about other passengers
Flight attendant was a good boomer who I suspect really hated having to deal with this, and pretty much everyone was rolling their eyes
The man was shaped like a hotdog btw, very effeminate voice too
The biggest threat to Middle America isn't the Democratic Party; it is the absence of effective, sustained opposition from the Republican Party. Here is a thread on conservative-Republican people and groups to look out for as they try to rehabilitate their image 1/
Greg Abbott has been working hard to make people forget that he is among the worst Republicans--one who has his eye on the WH and has only started doing "based" things due to dismal polling and challengers 2/ amgreatness.com/2021/03/12/gre…
Abbott welcomed Amazon's business right before it booted Parler from its servers, slandered Gab as anti Semitic and has tried to characterize Allen West as a such by extension for his using the platform 3/
