he isn't to be blamed for covid, but he is for the handling, it probably hvbe still been bad, btu could have been less so if he had done anything about it rather then complain about it for months.

I don't blame Trump for that one. Although Trump badly bungled the recovery, I blame COVID-19 for the huge job loss. On the other hand, it's a good factoid to bring up when people start blaming presidents for economic woes that are beyond their control.
Taking away, or even threatening to take away a woman's bolidy autonomy ended up having an affect on Gop success. Perhaps they thought THAT was the qrong direction.In numerous polls prior to the 2022 mid-term election, Americans say they believe America is on the wrong track, or headed in the wrong direction. With democrats in power in both the executive and legislative level, it makes sense that they would not vote to keep the same people in power, but demand change. But instead of change, we appear to be headed for more of the same if the final vote tally continues to indicate that democrats will continue to be the majority in power.

"Nearly three-quarters of voters in a new poll said they believed things in the U.S. were headed in the wrong direction.
An NBC News poll revealed just 21 percent of voters feel the nation is headed in the right direction, while 74 percent think the opposite.
Over half of respondents, or 58 percent, said they feel “more worried that America’s best years may already be behind us,” while 35 percent feel more confident the best years are still ahead.
About a third of respondents, or 34 percent, said they think the state of the nation will worsen over the next five years. Just two percent more, or 36 percent, said they think things will get better in that same time period, and 21 percent said they think things will stay the same."

Q1) Are you better off than you were 4 years ago
Q2) Do you wish to have the changes that the Republicans are proposing? These are likely to include at least include reductions in Social Security, reductions in Medicare, reductions in federal health care (especially Obamacare, and aid to Medicaid), and a federal ban on abortions.
This is America. A freedom loving people. A people that understand that freedom isn’t free. And while one party has led us to thinner wallets, the other side is creeping authoritarianism and when it comes to a choice to what is valued more, money or freedom, Americans choose freedom.
Don't try to pretend that Trump doesn't continue to have a massive influence on the Republican Party.
As I mentioned, not all her ideas are fabulous. But she's willing to give the effort to find solutions to problems. She has an infectious energy that resonates with voters. I wish more politicians would give more of themselves to better America.
I think people are smart enough to realise that whoever sits in the WH can't single handedly reverse global trends. Which is what each of those points you raised are. You think it's enough to raise them and then point to Biden and blame him.
It's an incredibly insular viewpoint. And you haven't done much to reverse the impression that you are not up to speed with what's happening outside the US and why it's happening. The GOP (and yourself) has cried 'wolf' so many times that people are getting tired of it. It's all negative. The sky is falling! But it's not.
And where there is some pain, the whole planet is sharing it. Our mortgage rates are only about 1% lower than yours (but our median house prices are double yours). I pay 50% more than you do for gas. Our inflation rates are about the same. Is our government to blame? No...it's a global problem. We don't have a land border so we don't have problems with illegal immigrants to your extent. But Europe has a much bigger problem.
And you complain about crime with a lot of hand waving, but crime rates, by any measure, up to and including this year, have been falling since 2019. As sure as God made little green apples, if the last guy was still in office you'd be boasting about it.
Part of the wrong track we're on is the increasing acceptance of election-denying, violent nationalist rhetoric coming from one party. One way to get off that track is to make sure those candidates lose.
You still believe in polls?
A look at Trump's economic legacy
Yet as he leaves after his one-term tenure, Trump has become the first president since Herbert Hoover during the Great Depression to depart office with fewer jobs in the country than when he entered.Perhaps voters have a longer, better memory than this post is giving them credit for.
Freedom to do what? Riot in the streets, censor the speech of others they don't agree with, freedom to soon not be able to drive a gasoline powered vehicle?
Freedom to love who they want (As high court signals Roe v. Wade reversal, states eye same-sex marriage protections), freedom to read the books they want (Banned in the USA: The Growing Movement to Censor Books in Schools), freedom to vote without being intimidated (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/06/election-officials-facing-armed-militia-presence-at-some-polls.html), freedom to vote for a party not in power (Republican says party ‘will never lose another election’ in Wisconsin if he wins). Freedom isn’t free and this week many Americans made their voice known at the ballot box that a few dollars less in their pockets is an acceptable sacrifice for those freedoms.
That's too bad, we need more God-fearing people to vote.I don't believe in politics, I don't vote and if I did cast a ballot, I would write in "Jesus is King" all down the ballot unless someone that I can trust to run the local city that I'm living in than I'll vote for that person but other than that I don't get involved with politics.
Political discussions however I'm completely in trenches, LOL.
Maybe Trump should make Tik-Tok vids of himself dancing around, or fake-crying at the border fence. Then he would be able to please the people who want someone with infectious energy.

It would seem that it is also true for a few that believe Make America Great Again was more than just a campaign slogan.Only in the minds of those who feel the need to hold him up as some sort of boogeyman to blame everything on.
You mean a path to actually make America great again?
So let's look at what the article you link to says, or rather the quote they present:freedom to vote for a party not in power (Republican says party ‘will never lose another election’ in Wisconsin if he wins)
It would seem that it is also true for a few that believe Make America Great Again was more than just a campaign slogan.
