Direction Of The Country

[Billiejeens]

This country is not going in the wrong direction due to inflation which is just a minor and temporary inconvenience. This country is entering into the realm of "it sucks". The cause? Crime, The Border, Taxes, Wokeism and above all, TDS. I forgot to mention all the damn Liberal fools that ignore the obvious and continue to vote for the same swamp dwellers determined to promote a historically failed socialist based government. FJB

You are not wrong.

But inflation makes it a little (if only temporarily) worse.

Don't go there! I don't know about you but I am a true blue conservative who would never willingly let this country fall into the woke, liberal abyss. FJB

Yet here we are.

Okay, so, current polls show that about 60% of those polled say that the country is going in the wrong direction. Since those polls always seem to be consistent with each other, that figure must be pretty close to being accurate. But, both sides seem to argue that the country is going in the wrong direction due to the other side. "Direction of the country" seems to be very general, generic, and extremely undetailed terminology, defined differently by different sides.

So, why do you think that about 60% of the country believes we are going in the wrong direction? Break it down into the details. My belief is that it is the economy (inflation), stupid. When inflation was higher, about 70% of the country thought we were headed in the wrong direction and since now that inflation has eased slightly, now only about 60% of Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction.

I take that as proof that the "direction of the country" is actually defined mostly by inflation. Assuming I am right, is it Democrats fault? Republican's fault? Both of their faults? Neither of their faults, it is what it is due to unavoidable global events (such as collateral damage from the pandemic and the Ukraine war)? If the last is so is the country going in the wrong direction but it is really no one's fault?

I say that inflation was going to be higher anyway but Democratic policies have thrown gasoline on the inflation fire, making it worse than it would have been. It is also my opinion that about 25% of those polled on each side are just diehard partisans, blaming the direction of the country on the other side. In other words, if you eliminate the extreme partisans, only about 5% think the country is going in the right direction, about 35% think the country is going in the wrong direction, about 10% have no opinion, and those remaining 50% are diehard partisans who just want the blame the other side.

So, what is your opinion of the details of why people think the country is going in the wrong direction and who's fault is it? Can we fix this feeling of the country going in the wrong direction or are we at the mercy of things all working out on their own?

Why do they think the country is going in the wrong direction? Uh I don’t know,how about because we had the most massive evidence of election fraud in mankind history in this past election and the elite are still rigging elections and we got the most corrupt courts in the world that protects them,gee I don’t know. Even cnn a mouthpiece fir the government is saying polls show most Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction,yet we git trolls in here saying biden is doing a great job,comedy gold.
