Summary
President Joe Bidenās economic achievementsālowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingāare largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.
His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.
However, Bidenās approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.
Democrats face a āpropaganda problemā rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenās accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.
Fun fact, the average American public school education doesnāt include critical thinking skills in the language curriculum. You either get your introduction to this in AP English (if youāre a high scoring highschooler) or during your first year of college/university.
Itās mind blowing how many people canāt pick apart a given piece of media and think about what message it conveys and why it conveys it.
So yeah, Americans are ripe for manipulation.
I think not stressing critical thinking skills is not a bug, but a feature, of schools that were designed to crank out factory workers.
Itās sheer lunacy in todayās world, but it also happens to be a feature for the qon/Republican agenda.
Redundant statements are redundant.
Thatās the result of the Republicans fucking over education in this country for the past 50 years.
