I hate to sound supercilious, but there are lots of people out there with a shaky connection to reality, and a need for a daddy figure who takes care of all the scary things. In fact, this is why we have cults of personality. I think the idea that Biden hasn't been good in "handling the pandemic" (the media's term for magical thinking) because we have journalists who think Biden should "fix it."

People are weird. They believe rich people are a higher quality of human than the rest of us (the richer you are, the more intelligent and trustworthy you are), and coupled with being a TV star and a guy with 3 trophy wives and a trophy daughter, Trump the devious and incompetent was a shoo-in to become president. Hillary was never popular, and people resented her ever since she was first lady because from the first day she made it clear that she was a feminist. The goobers were intimidated by her, and she frightened a lot of men. A women's magazine nagged the WH into providing her recipe for chocolate chip cookies, to try to make her into a traditional first lady. According to a lot of people 30 years later, women still should be baking cookies instead of discussing foreign policy. Kamala has been slut-shamed mercilessly by misogynists claiming she's a "homewrecker" and that she "slept with" her boss (those euphemisms are still weirdly in use in 2022, as silly as they are). Political polls have shown her popularity in the basement - for absolutely no reason at all. As for Pete, he's probably the most intelligent man in Washington (and he is the only presidential candidate I ever donated to) and is one of the biggest assets to Joe Biden, but people screeched when he and his spouse took family leave when one of their babies was sick. The homophobic comments from the right were an embarrassment to the whole country.
Look how many people believe the Democrats eat children (when they're not selling them out of the basement of a pizzeria). There are millions of people in America who have toys in the attic, and Trump was the candidate who called to them as their messiah.
The 2nd Amendment is the biggest mistake this country ever made, and every day, Americans ignore it and would rather think Biden is a monster for not conjuring magic to conquer an enemy guns cannot kill.

And most of them have guns.
