This is the central fact of the Biden "presidency."

The public is not pissed off because a few energy infrastructure workers got their oxen gored. And it's not because Wall Street is rigged (everybody's known that for decades), and not because his press people are transparently full of shit, not because Washington is a fortress meant to keep the people out, with a full-on program of smearing and, in some cases, prosecuting political opponents of the ruling regime.

These are all serious things well worth getting pissed off about. But that's not why.

People are pissed because they're seeing these things, knowing that Trump really won. That is the underlying fact that has people angry. We shouldn't forget that.
