I wasn't a fan of Joe, but I would have voted for the reanimated corpse of Richard Nixon over what we got. Unfortunately, Americans (humans, really) tend to be shortsighted, self-centered, and easily duped.
Still, how anyone thought the economy (much of which had been devastated by greedy corpos during and after the pandemic) would improve under ðŸ¥is beyond me. We knew exactly what he was. He was by far the worst option—potentially ever—yet "Joe is old and dems are weak and muh eggs cost too much so we need a change" still won out. Which happens a lot if you look back through history. It's like a wheel of shortsightedness, but the ones spinning the wheel seem to be getting progressively dumber.
