Likely. From one report I’ve read, Biden’s poll numbers are even lower after his vaccine mandates speech. That was a pole taken before during and after the speech. It’s going to be disastrous in my opinion once the first polls are released from after the speech.
Joe Biden vs Fidel Castro
1) Biden’s speeches are shorter.
2) Castro is dead.
Tough call.
Not only was the idea of Biden’s speech wrong, but his tone was a disgrace.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.”
“If you break the rules, be prepared to pay — and by the way, show some respect,”
I think that the moment when he leans into the podium and says he's losing patience with Americans who don't get the vaccine simply cannot be taken well by anyone. It comes across (accurately) as him saying "We only didn't force you because we assumed you'd obey. But you didn't. I'm getting angry now. **** your so-called rights, you don't have any!"
If Trump said anything even close to that he'd have been roasted alive as Hitler times 5. Dems always get a pass but it's hard to look at a President saying 'how dare you' to citizens and take that as a good guy.
