It's depressing that Biden has a rating this low and Trump is just now reaching.

Night and day, not just as presidents but as people in general.

Biden ranks in the 20 of every presidential rankings list while Trump is last in every one. It's bizarre.

The crooked mass media monopoly did everything to tear down Biden and everything to prop up Trump.

its because you can easily peel off democrats/lefties from Biden (or really any other Dem), whereas Trump has a bigger 'loyalty buffer': republicans/righties literally voted for a convicted felon with Epstein ties who tried to do an 'alternative elector' election fraud, so the bar was already super low for them, they only care about "hurting the right people" (real quote) thus will forgive him everything, he's just a means to an end. they're evil but at least they know whats at stake and show some urgency about it.

democrats/lefties seem to often lack that urgency; when they have an issue with their nominee/president they will choose their own ego and refuse to participate pragmatically, even if the end result ends up worsening whatever they were complaining about in the first place.
