It is my opinion that Joe Biden has had a sharp decline recently. He’s had a lot of gaffes, all of them embarrassing and yet he’s not a felon. It’s a false equivalency. Trump should not be able to vote. It would stand to reason that being president is off the table now, too. The Republicans are just crazymaking and for too many of us, it’s working. And yet, it’s good that Trump is the candidate. People hate him so goddamn much that if the right looked smoother, we’d already be fucked. That’s what scares me about Ron DeSantis and people like him. He can make being a dictator look good.
The Supreme Court has just made us a dictatorship if, under the presidency’s duration, the president can do whatever they want and they are arguably the most powerful person in the world. They control the world’s most sophisticated military and intelligence agencies. They have a person following them around with a briefcase containing the nuclear football to confirm strikes.
If Putin has to be talked down from using nuclear weapons on Ukraine because Zelenskyy embarrassed him on television, you’ll have to look hard to find a better analogy than what we’re trying to prevent. Donald Trump sounds like the kind of shithole dictator who’d start a war with Mexico or Canada if it meant involving escaping punishment for something else.
The American people have been convinced socialism is bad. Therefore, instead of government programs to help working class people, the GOP has told poor people that their problems are due to immigrants wanting to take their jobs, the queer community, and the threat of woke. It’s bad to teach children history. The GOP has proven why it doesn’t want to teach children history. They can’t use their methods on an educated population.
Or, at least, that was true until the juggernaut of Fox “News.” Half the country has traded news for infotainment that’s neither. Fox News spent so much time lying that they cannot get their viewers to believe they lied for love or money. They have viewers who get ANGRY at them when they report the actual news.
A big for-instance would be the riptide that went through the GOP when Fox News called Arizona for Biden in 2020. They have gaslit the American public so specifically, so exquisitely, that now when they report facts their viewers revolt.
And we’re arguing about whether Joe Biden is too old.
First of all, Trump is almost as old as Biden and he doesn’t even have a running mate. If people are so concerned about age, it would make sense that the running mate on Trump’s side would be important. I’m just not thinking he’s going to find one easily, and if he does, it’s going to be the equivalent of Rudy Giuliani….. except they might still have a law license…………
If Joe Biden becomes incapacitated or dies in office, Kamala Harris’s approval ratings are just as good as Biden’s, if not better in some cases. I do not think that we should rush to replace Biden. It’s becoming more and more obvious that something should be done, and it’s July. We have to talk about reworking our whole ticket because the emperor has no clothes, but he has his base believing he’s not naked- he’s wearing robes of unicorn skin.
If you vote Democrat, you’re in good hands even if Biden is president. If you’re a Republican, you’re in good hands even if Biden is president. Electing Trump is fundamentally changing the nature of the way the government was set up in the first place, and it’s startling how much the rank and file GOP is ignorant to this. Project 2025 is a master plan, and Trump is not smart enough to come up with it on his own. You are electing a puppet, a harbinger of death to “entitlements,” so called because we are entitled to receive benefits from a program into which we put money. Everything that could currently be called a safety net will be gone. Income disparity will get worse.
It wasn’t that great to begin with.
And here’s the biggest thing. I know what joe Biden cares about. He’ll tell you.
I only know what and who Trump hates. There’s no passion project for him. He doesn’t want to be the president to actually make anything better. He doesn’t even really want to run the government. He wants to sit in the Oval Office and eat Mickey D’s cheeseburgers while his staff does work they cannot possibly be qualified to do, especially in terms of security clearance.
You already know the Biden administration. The Trump administration is relying on all the people that got fired because of January 6th. It’s a free base of labor that already agrees with everything he thinks and can’t get a job anywhere else.
But sure. This is totally about Biden’s age.
