There was no massive progress of peace in the Middle East. The wars in Yemen and Syria are still raging. The previous administration still supported the former and acted in careless ways in the latter (e.g. refusing to protect Kurdish troops). Note that Mohammed bin Salman had someone killed during the last administration. Iran has become more and not less dangerous during the last five years. The political situation in Lebanon has been imploding over the three years. It is quite absurd to claim some "massive progress" here. I think, you're mainly referring to the recognition of Israel by UAE. That is a diplomatic win, but how exactly did Biden undo this?

Suicides and drug overdoses have been skyrocketing for the last 20 years. It is quite absurd to pin that on someone who entered office little more than a year ago. This trend was also not thwarted in the previous administration, so this assertion is confusing.

Political opponents have been jailed in the US forever. This isn't particularly on Biden either. Obviously he should be criticized for it, but it seems strange to pin this system US issue on him. Also, it was the previous administration that started the case against Julian Assange, not the one preceding it. This is of note.

National debt has been rising since 2005. The last administration raised it by twice as much compared to the administration before it. How is this Biden's fault?

Inflation is heavily tied to the Fed which is independent from the President. Projections of high inflation due to the Covid pandemic existed plentiful as far back as 2020.

I mean, this is all really really absurd, Bryan. Be constructive and nuanced. Your echo chamber is silly.

And who is to blame that reality is now satire? ;-)
