I don't see where the chaos is. I don't watch TV news, are these programs presenting a constant stream of bad news or saying the good news is fleeting? It must be tv sensationalism because, except for Marge green and her fellow idiots, there is nothing chaotic going on at all. Even those Bozos at the border are realizing there is no there there.

The things currently going on that I'd ascribe to what the voting public sees as global/domestic chaos that is not being reigned in:
Global
- Largest land war in Europe since WWII underway for 2 years now in Ukraine
- Israel and Iranian proxies fighting again (Hamas, Lebanese Hezbollah, Houthis)
- Iranian proxies firing missiles at container ships forcing maritime traffic to more-costly alternative routes (Houthis)
- Iranian proxies attacking American troops in Iraq, Syria, and now Jordan (Kataib Hezbollah mostly)
- An American president who can't seem to get any of this stuff to stop via military force or diplomacy or economic pressure (Biden)
Domestic
- High cost of living brought on by rent inflation and home value inflation that is persistent due to the lack of housing inventory because we've been underbuilding for a long time--arguably since the '08 GFC
- Homelessness crisis and tent camps full of fentanyl addicts with mental health problems in just about every major metro in the country now
- A broken asylum system that is literally filled to the brim with fraudulent claims and backlogged court cases
- A border security and immigration system that isn't capable of handling the large flow of migrants--both legal and illegal--in an orderly manner
- Ineffectual democrat mayors who don't seem to be able to control these issues in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, and NYC (among others)
You can agree/disagree with whether or not these things should collectively be called a chaotic environment, I'm just telling you what voters seem to be freaked out about regarding domestic and global problems that don't seem to be going away.
Biden was doing an incredible job leading Europe in helping Ukraine. It was the stupid Republicans who put a stop to it. Just like they'll put a stop to Biden' s excellent plan to reduce the illegal immigration. Housing prices and rents are not under the President's perview, but housing is expensive in San Diego and Pheonix. You can get a much cheaper house Cedar Rapids IA.
The reason people are rushing to the border is because the US is having the best recovery from the Covid shut down of any other country. It's especially bad south of the border. Those corrupt ineffectual governments in Central and South America ate encouraging their poor to go North. They don't have any jobs for them.
I know people who live in Chicago and love it. I'm hearing no complaints. Same with LA. Lots of happy people there.
I'm just telling you what I hear voters worried/complaining about. I'm not here to defend their views, I'm just here to tell you what they're saying. There's a big big difference between how retail voters think and how the Bulwark audience thinks, and not recognizing that difference is a surefire way to find yourself holding onto potentially bad expectations.
Do you I don't live around people. My daughter rents a house in Las Vegas and is not complaining. My son lives in Palm Desert and is a teacher. His one bedroom apt in a modern a complex has a pool and sauna and work out room. He pays $1700 very affordable on a teachers salary.
Now I live at the beach. Apts are very expensive. But not everyone can live at the beach, or in Hollywood or Manhatten. People who can't afford rents at the beach, don't live here, which is why I do.
Btw. I'm a voter. Granted a lot of voters are stupid, but how in the world can anyone believe a fat slob like Trump will care if peasants can't afford Apts.

Are you willfully not paying attention?

ItтАЩs not that he cares about them тАФ except the delusional тАФ itтАЩs that he hates and will make miserable the same people the voters hate.
