Is most of it simple hyperbole? Are citizens' distrust and fears legitimate?
A great many thought everything would be much better when Biden was the President .
In some areas, especially those that were of utmost importance, such as the health of the American people, the situation seems to be much improved. The majority of Americans believe the new President has done a great job in fighting the pandemic, under enormous challenges.
The economy was in terrible shape, after many of the businesses were forced to shut down, and many people lost their jobs. It now seems to have gained its land legs, although still wobbly. That was no small accomplishment.
But, in some areas, it seems there is still a threat to our country. It should disturb every American to see what is going on in Arizona with the scam audit. There can be no valid audit, without legitimate and independent watchers, and without strict control of the movements of the ballots. That is a necessity.
Unfortunately, that has not happened in Arizona.
Also, there is increased "concern", with the growing threats of right-wing extremists groups. Some believe it has gotten worse since the present mob, now under custody, attacked our Capitol, and are refusing to accept any plea deals, perhaps under hopes that their Leader will come to save them. (Perhaps one out of the over four hundred insurrectionists arrested thus far?)
They believe they just have to be patient.
Now that the tanking economy and the pandemic are mostly under control, perhaps the DOJ will have time to focus on other pressing challenges and threats? (Such as saving our democracy from the insane radicals that have taken over the Republican Party)
