Highest since he was last in charge.

I really wish his supporters had a couple of braincells collectively to rub together

Yeah but they always believe the reasons that are given.

It wasn't our fault, it was the pandemic. It's not our fault, the numbers are rigged. It wasn't our fault we inherited the problem. It wasn't our fault, the Democrats toned down our bill and that caused the problem. It wasn't our fault, there are too many immigrants.

The "our" is the problem. They feel attached to the Republican party and that Democrats are the enemy, the why doesn't matter in that basic way. So they double down hoping the next guy is crazy enough to fix it, but obviously a Democrat can't fix it because them being in power means they have lost.

If candidates were masked and you were only voting based on their past actions we would have very different politicians.
