The Hill reports very interesting post-election polling looking at why America voted as it did six weeks ago. Its key finding summarized:
While voters are less trusting of the government as a result of the election, they believe the government will be more effective and can get things done.
If I may be permitted a translation of this pithy conclusion? It appears the government under Biden appeared impotent, an enfeebled giant unable to accomplish its manifold missions.
Democrats - obsessing over fairness - were perceived to be dithering, doing nothing for fear of hurting feelings. Republicans - especially Trump - were seen as “doers,” folk who get stuff done at the cost of some bruised egos.
I hope they’re correct as much needs righting. An interesting conclusion and - better still - one I had not reached independently but agree with.
