It’s Not Just Us

Morning Consult has new results on approval ratings for major world leaders.

The whole world is in a post-pandemic funk. I guess it’s good that Biden isn’t quite as unpopular as everyone else but it’s really bad news, and not a coincidence, that we also have a rising fascist right at the same time. Ours is unique in that our fascist movement is also led by an unhinged, corrupt, imbecilic cult leader which actually makes it more difficult.
