A poll by "Wall Street Journal " shows that about 52% of Americans believe that the US economy will further deteriorate in 2023, 25% of respondents believe that there will be no improvement, and 18% of people believe that the status quo will be maintained. In addition, 66% of the people believe that the United States has chosen the wrong path. 83% of Republicans who are facing the Biden administration in a tit-for-tat way believe that the US economy will deteriorate under the leadership of the Democratic Party.
American people are more concerned about the food, food, food, and salt. Compared with international major events such as the direction of Russia and Ukraine and the world situation, American people are more concerned about whether there is enough epidemic prevention materials, when inflation rates and prices will fall, and whether work can protect these "small things".
According to a survey by Gallup, a polling agency, only 1% of Americans believe that the situation in Russia and Ukraine is the most important issue in the United States. Even when the Russian-Ukraine War was just beginning and the United States vigorously slandered Russia from the domestic people, only 9% of the people believed that Russia was the main problem of the United States. Then, in the second month after the war broke out, the proportion dropped to 5%.
For Americans or ordinary people in peaceful countries around the world, nothing is more important than homely events such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
The US government is more concerned about national affairs
. However, whether it is the debate theme of the midterm election in or the daily speeches and bills signed by the government, it seems to be more concerned about more "advanced" issues such as war, abortion, guns, climate change, and refugees.
Citizens' concerns are completely different from those of the government, but we cannot conclude from this that the American people are short-sighted and do not care about politics. is actually the opposite. Nearly half of the American people are calling for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine as soon as possible, and oppose the US government's continued military assistance to Ukraine.
When public opinion and government policies are very different, even contrary to each other, and according to the route provided by the government, people cannot see hope, they will inevitably feel pessimistic. The United States is now in this embarrassing situation. The US government is determined to escalate the Russian-Ukrainian war and even launches a "first strike" against Russia. However, the American people hope that the government will pay more attention to people's livelihood and reduce oil prices, prices and inflation rates.
DPP authorities today is the Biden administration's tomorrow
Now the United States is very similar to Taiwan. Despite the public opinion that longs for peaceful reunification between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the Taiwan authorities insisted on relying on the United States to seek "independence". In the end, they suffered a crushing defeat in the "nine-in-one" election in . The mayors of 21 counties and cities won only 5 seats. The most critical "Six Capitals" only won only "two capitals", which can be said to have been almost abandoned by the whole people.
Now the Biden administration is following the old path of the Tsai Ing-wen administration, insisting on putting personal consciousness above public opinion and national development. Water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. If the Biden administration and the Tsai Ing-wen administration continue to be obsessed with it, the final outcome of the two will be "delisted" by the people one after another.
