Actually, switch Manchin to no. I forgot that he called poor parents drug addicts.

Doesn’t he charter yachts all the time? He does seem a little out of touch for a West Virginian

They were really in a lose-lose situation. Either the anti-their way of life party or the anti-their way of life party.

I’ve seen this meme a lot, but it’s based off of a very common misunderstanding of history. From 1932 to 1996, discounting the landslide re-election wins of Ike, Dick, and Reagan, WV voted for the Democrats in every one of those elections, and even in 2000 we were still bluer than Virginia, North Carolina, and Colorado. WV did not become the safe red state it is today until 2004, which you’ll notice is long after union membership declined. The meme has the timeline wrong, the death of unions, and the longstanding problem of Appalachian poverty led to WV becoming a red state, not the reverse.

Meant to put mixed on if the country is better off than it was 4 years ago.

Lmao at McCarthy's approval rating being literally worse than MTG's

Worrisome. 😛

[Timur]

Even Lauren Boebert hates MTG.

Ted Cruz. Really. The Republican Party doesn't even approve of Ted Cruz.

I used to be more defensive of DeSantis, I thought his approach was Trump-esque in style but that his governing record pointed to compromise and bipartisanship on a number of issues that were serious and substantive, like Everglades protection and how he worked well with Biden in the wake of the Surfside building collapse, and took unreasonable media criticism for eminently defensible policy decisions, like using Publix to administer vaccines and 60 Minutes running a piece calling it corruption and quid pro quo because of Publix having donated to his gubernatorial campaign in 2018, and refusing to talk to local administrators and mayors on both sides of the aisle who praised the move as a good way to ensure that people trust the vaccine. Lately, however, his focus has been too much culture war stuff and it's caused me to sour on him greatly.

Chief Justice Roberts was the toughest decision here for me I guess. While I disagree with a few rulings by him, I view him based on personality and integrity as probably one of the greatest people on Earth. A true legend and role model. So I chose 'yes' over 'Too mixed'.

Based off this, the country isn't better off than 4 years ago, the Supreme Court is the most favorable institution and Mitt Romney is the most favorable politican.

4 years ago was 2018, I think it's pretty fair to say that events outside of politics had a direct impact. ;c)
