isnt into politics. They really dont care whats going on as long as theyre ok. If theyre not ok, they blame the current President... but only if the President is a Democrat. (Thanks, Fox and FB!). Doesnt matter whos in control of Congress, because they dont understand how things actually work.
I know someone who never votes for President. But he hates Biden because the economy sucks. Proof? His wife got laid off. End of story. So he wants TFG back. He does not watch Fox. He just doesnt want to hear facts or that President Biden has actually saved the economy.
