Ummm.... from where I sit, that looks exactly like the Biden presidency too.  Except, 'people like him' basically means establishment politicians and the sectors of the economy that have bought them.

So, from a libertarian perspective, politics as usual.  Isn't it great things are back to normal 

More seriously, though, from the EOs passed (over 30) and the bills on the agenda, it does feel as if Biden's role is to rubber stamp the wish list of the various parts of the DNC coalition.  It goes beyond just reversing what Trump had done and into sweeping changes that will affect the country for decades to come.  His approval rating now is mostly because he isn't Trump, not sure how long it will last once people realize there is more going on than that.  OTOH, the media is completely covering for him with such hard-hitting questions as 'will he redecorate Air Force One' and sighs of how wonderful it is that his tweets are 'boring.'

Too early to tell what any of this means in a 4T perspective except that it is clear the DNC is acting in full Crisis Mindset (us v. them, our agenda uber alles) while a good half of the GOP still thinks if they cave enough we can get back to a 3T give-and-take.  Bodes well for those who welcome the coming Utopia ™, I guess.

For now, he get's a bye-me, because he's not Trump and because it's typical for new Presidents to get a honeymoon.  Biden seems to know that he needs to get real things done quickly, so relief checks are a must-do, and an easy sanity check on the GOP willingness to go along (unlikely as that is).  And yes, the libertarians will not be happy. Assume more regulation, and god knows it's needed.  Raising taxes and similar things that the centrist Dems don't want will be much further down the road.

I wouldn't be surprised if his approval rating remains fixed. The Democratic side seems to be very self absorbed and high on itself as usual and uninterested in the advancement of any other groups than themselves which is why a major threat of some sort will be needed/used to pop their bubble and bring them back down to earth.

Good reason existed for Trump support going as low as it did several times, and if it spiked just before the election (but not enough to get him re-elected) he destroyed what could have been whatever legacy he had as President. Most of us are going to remember the worst, and undoing that worst will be a huge achievement. 

President Biden treats COVID-19 with the seriousness of a military threat as if it were the Axis Powers. It may be generally awkward to have as President someone whose oldest members are turning 96 if still alive... yes, Paul Newman and Johnny Carson would both be turning 96 this year if still alive. Biden has good people around him, and good staffing is an essential part of solid leadership. Good staffing precludes surrounding oneself with yes-men. Getting America inoculated will put an end to the 2020 Plague.  Much more about Donald Trump is objectionable.

PB, we have a vaccine right now vs two years from now because Trump made it the number one priority several months ago. OK. You're an extreme partisan hack who doesn't realize that Trump is no longer in office and no longer matters as far as what happens now or in the immediate future at this point. All that matters now are the results/impacts caused by the new administration that you and others felt compelled to elect as a last ditch effort to more or less save yourselves. You can lie to yourself, you can lie to fellow Democratic supporters, you can make up shit and pat each other on the back and compliment one another as America is being impacted left and right by every stupid thing that a careless and senseless group of people identified as Democrats do and cause over the next year or two and deal/cope with all the consequences and negative impacts of being associated with making big mistakes at the wrong time in history.

It's going to takes years to put an end to the 2020 plague with leaky borders and illegal immigrant friendly/ anti ICE, anti-American minded people in power. You're not thinking, you're still reacting and over reacting to the years of self induced trauma that you and every other Reactionary type here are guilty of causing, advancing and played a role in creating by politicizing crisis's and blowing them out of proportion while not listening or considering the negative impacts. Are you a cream puff or an insensitive fiend whose job is to scare cream puffs? You could be either but I'm thinking your more of a fiend than a cream puff at this point. Not good dude. I have a license to do whatever with a fiend like millions of other Americans. I've noticed that you have an insensitive/careless side like others here. I have one too along with 70 some million other Americans whose mind is already made up as far the direction of their part of the country goes vs the direction the Democrats are trying to force them to go right now. Ain't going to work but they're trying anyways. I mean, you can try anything during a moment of ultimate freedom and protection like the Democrats have created for themselves and their believers right now. You take advantage of a weakness/ use corporations to do what the American government doesn't have the right to do and catch America off guard, you create a moment of ultimate freedom and protection that we're seeing right now. Does Biden even know what he's doing right now? I understand that the Democrats have a lot to feel guilty about since the bulk of them are deplorable themselves who made fortunes while blaming other people (mainly white people) and supporting policies that turned a bunch of places into shit holes and established a permanent under class and welfare state. Like I said, it's going to going to get really ugly for the Democrats and everyone associated with the Democrats as America begins turning against the Democrats and waging war with the Democrats across the entire country. What will the world think? Who gives a shit what the world thinks other than the Democrats these days?

What's Biden's real number one issue? It's not COVID, COVID was just a means to get elected like the 08' crash was just a means for Obama to get elected. How long are Biden/Harris going to be allowed to remain/be able to remain in power while the nation is dividing? Is Biden functioning as an American leader or a global dictator right now? Who wanted a global dictator? Dude, you are on the wrong side and the separation and clear distinction has already been made and your fate has already been sealed. War with America is coming dude and you played a role in starting it. So, I suggest that you find a back pack and a tent and move to a Democratic sanctuary state before America boots your dumb ass.
