When it comes to analyzing the popularity of U.S. presidents, the accepted method would be to look at poll numbers and approval ratings. However, that can only take you so far. If you really want to see how well a president is doing, one of the best ways would be to get the word on the street. Take President Biden, for example. When he recently went to New Jersey, you would think that things would go well for him, since the Garden State has been a Democrat stronghold for many years. However, all you have to do is watch the people that are heckling, shaming and cursing President Joe Biden to know that he is doing an awful job.
President Biden was in New Jersey Tuesday to survey the flood-ravaged areas from the remnants of Hurricane Ida, as reported by NBC News.
Biden began his visit to Jersey by stopping in Hillsborough Township to meet with officials there before he stopped in nearby Manville, which is now a town that has been submerged in floodwaters from Hurricane Ida, leaving 67 dead in its wake.
Of course, the president was looking for some photo ops of him relying on his much-touted empathy, but instead he was met with footage of a number of different roadside protests, including from those who were shouting at him and waving flags. Many of these protesters were holding up signs with messages such as “Don’t blame me I voted for Trump” and others had insults that were aimed directly at Biden.
The Twitter universe was commenting up a storm regarding this and there was one tweet that contained all kinds of colorful insults for the president, including an accusation that the president “left our soldiers behind.”
“F— you, Biden. F— you, you piece of s—-,” the protester yelled. “You’re killing our kids out there. Worthless piece of trash,” the unidentified male protester later said.
Still yet another tweet featured video showing Biden’s official motorcade rounding a corner and only receiving a chorus of boos, along with one protester calling him a “murderer” and hurling such insults that he is “trash” before he ended the video showing a lot where a dozen more protesters were congregated.
“No supporters showed up for Biden in New Jersey — but dozens of Trump supporters lined the streets to tell Joe what they thought of him,” Johnson captioned it.
“You leave Americans behind,” a man shouted. “He will leave you behind — you guys protecting him,” he directed at the officers before shouting the name of someone who had been buried at Arlington National Cemetery, likely a casualty of the war that Biden abruptly put to an end by letting Afghanistan go back to the Taliban.
“For what? He lost his life for what?”
Star-Ledger reporter Matt Arco wrote that people were shouting “Biden go home” and “You should resign” at President Biden during literally every stop he made.
People were also saying such things as “F**ing tyrant” and “this country is going to shit.”
Politico reported that Biden had won Somerset County – where Manville is located – by as much as 20 points, so you would think that folks out there would have rolled out the red carpet for him. Apparently not so much.
The problem that President Biden is encountering would be that even staunch Democrats in a deep blue state such as New Jersey can’t stomach his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. That is because he left the country in the hands of the Taliban, and they were even armed with our military equipment that we left behind. His retreat from Afghanistan was very hasty and not very well-thought-out. Additionally, Biden left countless Americans stranded in that increasingly hostile nation and he did it without a shred of remorse either.
This is also why Biden’s poll numbers have plummeted after this pullout from Afghanistan. It was a strategic stronghold that kept our terrorists fighting our boys overseas instead of fighting our civilians stateside.
Unfortunately, Biden had no supporters there to greet him because the man now has so few supporters left, even in New Jersey, even in such a pivotal time in our country. The only ones who wanted to see Biden were those whose sole purpose was to jeer at him.
When you consider that now the people of New Jersey have turned their backs on the president, that is when it should become abundantly clear to everyone that Americans everywhere are fed up. The 2022 midterms continue to get closer with each passing day.
