People are speculating as to why polls show Biden is in the dog house now in terms of popularity. And as you might suspect, much of it stems from how he handled the Afghanistan fiasco.
1. He lied repeatedly about the conditions and expectations of what to expect in Afghanistan. He told untruths about how it was unlikely that the Taliban would take over quickly, and he lied about not leaving until all Americans were out. This is just a few of the repeated lies coming from Biden and the State Department.
2. He sold himself as the only competent adult running. But when you look at how he has handled himself, Biden avoids the press, and even went on vacation as Afghanistan was falling apart. His staff then make it clear to him that the optics don't look good regarding him being on vacation while Rome burns, so he then gives a quick press conference WITHOUT answering any questions, and then resumes his vacation.
3. Four Gold Star families complained about being disrespected by Joe Biden when their sons were being laid to rest. Biden seemed more preoccupied with wanting to leave as he repeatedly checked his watch according to the families. And the families all said Biden kept talking about his son who was in the military and who later died from cancer, as if he knew the pain they were suffering, just like he insists to this very day that he handled the Afghanistan situation well.
Stepping back from all this, what is clear is that Biden is a narcissist and appears to be incapable of correction and empathy. He is a man who cannot fathom that he has ever done anything wrong in his life, and discounts those that say otherwise.
In a way, he is the perfect man for a government that seems equally distant and cold to the feelings of the average American. A man that does not need to be accountable for anything he does or says. And a man who can probably win reelection in 2024 despite how the average man feels about him because of the successful demonization of Orange man in the press.
The only question is, who is disliked more, Biden or his VP?
