They must be counting illegals as they cross the Rio Grande (and before they enter the trucks).

George W. Bush had a similar floor with somewhere around 30% his second term. Because around 30% are partisan base that’s really hard to reason with, many low information voters.

George Bush also had the Media attacking him daily, nearly as bad as they attacked Trump.
Joe Biden’s biggest supporter is the Media that covers for every screw up he makes.
I also remember the Democrats telling us that George W. Bush stole the election from Al Gore.

George Bush also stole the election against Kerry per Democrat groups and Kerry himself. There were lawsuits by Democratic groups to stop the steal. They failed. Kerry was whining in 2006 that it was “undemocratic”.
Sen. John Kerry didn't contest the results at the time, but now that he's considering another run for the White House, he's alleging election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004.
Of course, unlike now, this wasn’t a threat to our mocracy.

Kerry revives 2004 election allegations

John Kerry saying something two years post election results is not the same as the President using the power of the office in an attempt to overturn the results of an election that he knew that he lost.
Seriously. Trying to find any sort of equivalence just does not exist.

Funny thing about rhetoric, no matter how many times you repeat it, that doesn’t make it correct. Not even if you put explanation points at the end.

Most people don’t trust the media these days. Doubt that’s a huge factor.
That confidence has fallen almost every year since. Now, according to Gallup, just 36% of people say they have at least a fair amount of trust in the media. In 2016, trust was at an all-time low of 32%

You are right, it’s not the same. But then John Kerry is gutless, so …
Seems inevitable at the rate of decline.

The latest.
Not really worth reading. Same trajectory. (Downward.) Nothing new. But this is the latest:

Three percent of Republicans approve of Biden. I didn’t know the Romney/Cheney wing of the Republican Party was that big.

Pessimism has vastly increased about everything but “organized labor” under Brandon. It’s too bad Brandonites couldn’t see the reality of their decision ahead of time?
