When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

Did you hear the one about the conniving little serpent who:
Pretended to be a populist while fronting for a fascist billionaire
Demeaned and dismissed his own wife's religious beliefs
Pretended to become a Catholic because he figured it would cement his climb to the summit,
and then...
Decided it would be a winning strategy idea to take on the first homegrown U.S. of A. pope—one of the most popular figures on planet earth—to try to stay on the suckup side of his despised dementia-ridden clown of a boss?
Wonder whatever happened to that little dipshit after he came out the other side of the buzzsaw?

He was elected President because too many people didn't want to vote for Kamala Harris.

Let’s fix that.
… too many people didn't want to vote for a woman, let alone a black woman.
Let’s call it like it is. Racism and misogyny are alive and well in this country.

That vision is a bit dystopian for me, and the VP's polling as of now is reassuring. He's polling just below ass-hair lice.

As was Trump a few years before the 2024 election. But here we are.
Elections are choices between two candidates. If people don't like the Democratic candidate much, they'll vote for the Republican candidate (and vice versa). Most people will correctly determine that their goals in voting (whatever they are) are met by voting for the candidate from the party that will advance those goals. Of the rest, many will choose their vote - or choose not to vote - based on how they regard both candidates. And many will vote against a candidate they don't like even if they're not affirming they like the candidate they vote for.
Democrats have a popularity problem in the states necessary to win the Presidency. No guarantees that they come out of the primaries with a nominee that will be popular enough to beat even an unpopular GOP nominee.

I'm not sure that I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work there, Lou.
Trump's approval and disapproval numbers have stayed in a pretty narrow band until their recent power-dive. The economy and immigration were his strong suits until he screwed both up to a fare-thee-well. He never had much ceiling room, but the floor was relatively solid.
Said another way, he had little chance to rise, so his only opportunity, which he is taking advantage of now, was to plunge the country, and himself, into chaos.
My two cents.
