Oh yes. The American political managerial and administrative ruling class. The globalist corporatist elite. The educated fake laptop job class. The professional looters. The coastal and big city liberal progressives. The over-educated class. The single cat ladies. The radical 3rd wave post-modern feminists. The perpetual academic social and economic malcontents.
This is the collection of "elite" Americans that sit in class judgement, many of them full of hate, for those Americans that fall below them on the social and economic class hierarchy.
Did you watch the World Series game last night? Did you see the New York fans that tried to rip the ball out of the mitt of the LA Dodgers left fielder? For me that episode perfectly represented what they people are and why we need to knock them off their damn perch of superiority. They are nasty, selfish, privileged and egotistical people that justify their greed to win even it requires ripping the prize away from those actually doing the work to earn it. The difference here is that I don't hate them... I see them as just flawed humans that God still loves. However, I know that we need to get the keys of power out their hands... for good.
The design of this Greatest Nation on God's Green Earth was always government of the people, by the people and for the people... note government of the ruling class, by the ruling class and for the ruling class.
As someone that can define myself as an elite (educated with high income) I am quite disgusted with my peers. Joe Biden said exactly what these people actually think. The correct view of that this BEHAVIOR of our elite class is garbage. And the only way to get them to look in the mirror is to sweep them out of political power with a massive red wave.
A comedian at a Trump rally made a racist joke calling Puerto Rico trash. The crowd groaned. A comedian at a Walz rally made a racist joke calling Mexicans thieves. The crowd laughed. And the Trump supporters are the Nazis? Got it.
Anyone that's looking to be offended will be offended and that includes anyone that still listens to MSM on things like the comedian. I don't believe for a minute that there are people in Puerto Rico or swaths of people in any given state that, hearing the media do what they have done for the last 8 years, is going to throw their hands up and say, "that's it, no more! I will now cast my vote for the other side!"
I think we all tend to forget that politics has replaced religion for most voters on both sides of the aisle. Religion is rife with heresies, and heresies cannot be tolerated by the faithful (I'm talking to both sides here). But the liberal orthodoxy truly believes the Hitlerian-fascist-end of democracy BS they've been spoon-fed by MSNBC and their ilk, which explains their shrieking, maniacal hatred of Trump. By extension, anyone who would support such an evil man surely must be just as evil, and all of them deserve to be eradicated. When viewed through this lens, conservatives aren't just the "other team" to liberals, we are evil incarnate, low-information voters being led by the Pied Piper of Madness, and we must be stopped at all costs. Sound familiar? It should, because we kinda' feel the same way about Biden and Harris.

At the second presidential debate in October 2016, after Trump mentioned the speech in a response to James Carter, debate moderator Anderson Cooper asked Clinton: "How can you unite a country if you've written off tens of millions of Americans?"[14] Clinton responded to Cooper's question by saying: "My argument is not with his supporters, it's with him and the hateful, divisive campaign he has run"
“Within twenty years at most, he reflected, the huge and simple question ‘Was life better before the Revolution than it is now?’ would have ceased once and for all to be answerable.”
It really takes less than 8 years. As long as Democrats are in control the answer is always yes.
Grammar Lesson for Trumpers: All sentences must have a word that is the subject. Also, words that sound the same when spoken can have completely different meanings when transcribed to writing sans appropriate punctuation, as was the case here with the apostrophe omitted after the word "supporters." Generally speaking, sentences are delivered either verbally or in written form in the context of related sentences. The context of Joe's statement in question was in response to a comedian who characterized Puerto Rico as a floating pile of garbage. Joe borrowed "garbage" from the comedian and used it in his sentence with the implied meaning being "garbage rhetoric." This is evidenced by the subject of his sentence being the word "garbage" and the use of the word "is," rather than "are," in describing the floating state of said garbage. So, given this, the appropriate word-for-word translation of the sentence would be "The only floating garbage I see is his supporters'," with the inclusion of the possessive apostrophe. And by adding the last implied word of the sentence (garbage), it reads like this "The only floating garbage I see is his supporters' garbage." To imply that his meaning was actually "The only floating garbage I see are his supporters," requires that the subject of the sentence be changed from "garbage" to "supporters," that the possessive apostrophe be dropped, that the word "is" be replaced with the word "are," and that the quoted snippet be taken out of context with the rest of the dialog. That's a lot of hurdles to clear just to try to make a false interpretation from a politician's abbreviated spoken words. Kind of reminds me of how the left treated Trump for his "Good people on both sides" comment. Do we really need to lower ourselves to the deceptive tactics of Democrats? As for Erick, he is a very good writer, so he knows all of this. However, he is also a partisan and a former political spinmeister. So, all I can assume is that he thought this was just too good a gotcha moment to let pass by, and he understood that his audience would not allow him to pass it by. So, there you have it, Trumpers. This first lesson is no charge.
"The only floating garbage I see is his supporters" is grammatically correct. And the meaning is clear: garbage = supporters. "The only floating garbage I see are his supporters" is also correct - and it means the same thing - but most people don't talk that way. To say that Biden meant "supporters' garbage" is plausible, but reeks like the garbage of damage control. And who can fathom Biden's mind, anyway? Unfortunately, the garbage sticks (and stinks).
But he did actually say it. That a TDS sufferer took the time to create a nice long excuse as to why he didn't say what he said does not change the fact of it.
If he meant that he would have said “The only garbage I see floating out there ARE his supporters,” referring to those supporters in the plural rather than in the plural possessive, as in “the rhetoric belonging to Trump’s supporters is garbage.”
You expect us to believe that a guy who said, "I dont... I.. I..don’t know the Puerto Rican that... that I know... or the Puerto Rico, where I'm fr.. in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people." knows the difference between plural and plural possesive?
You have much more faith in his verbal skills than he desrves.
Once upon a time, candidates only attacked each other... they didn't attack the voters. Barack Obama broke that convention with his "bitter clingers" comment. Since then, it's been a free-for-all to attack a candidate's supporters. And 98% of the time, it's the Democrat candidate attacking Main Street GOP supporters.
No surprise here. He simply let slip the Dem elites' true view of us, the great unwashed.

But those mean tweets...
A comedian at a Trump rally made a racist joke calling Puerto Rico trash. The crowd groaned. A comedian at a Walz rally made a racist joke calling Mexicans thieves. The crowd laughed. And the Trump supporters are the Nazis? Got it.
When asked for comment, Tim Walz replied, 'We all mispeak. I'm a knucklehead, he's a chucklehead.'
This is hilarious. It's so on brand, I had to check to see if it was true.

Joe is calling me garbage big deal I’m calling him the biggest POS that has ever been elected to office
Couldn't have said it better, Kelly.
Erick? ERICK!?! Did you hear? Biden called us "garbage"?
I prefer "deplorable." :-)
Our daughter was adopted from India at age 5 (she's 21 now.) English was not the first language she learned, but it's the only one she speaks now.
Every so often, she'll say something incorrectly, and we'll correct her her. She'll complain (loudly), "That's what I said!"
We have to come back with, "That may be what you meant to say, but that's not what you really said."
Ditto to Joe Biden.
In your daughters case she is demonstrating her immaturity, my step daughter does the same and she is 31.
In Biden's case it is a lie and malicious manipulation.
The media really is the Ministry of Truth

It wasn’t a good idea to have a Don Rickles type insult comedian there. He should have roasted Trump in ways that would gather support.
No matter what was done or said, the Media Industrial Complex would spin it.

Donald Trump wears a supporter?
Probably so. For his ego. ;)
A very fine, complete and well-written analysis.
But even if Biden didn't explicitly say that Trump's supporters are "garbage", he sure as heck thinks it.
But he did actually say it. That a TDS sufferer took the time to create a nice long excuse as to why he didn't say what he said does not change the fact of it.
No doubt. But he did not say it.
Either way, it doesn't help Harris any, and it's potentially damaging to her.
No... the subject of the sentence is 'garbage.' He said "The only garbage I see..."
Floating is what the garbage is doing.
Then he equates Trump supporters to garbage, not the garbage of the supporters.
If he meant that he would have said “The only garbage I see floating out there ARE his supporters,” referring to those supporters in the plural rather than in the plural possessive, as in “the rhetoric belonging to Trump’s supporters is garbage.”
You expect us to believe that a guy who said, "I dont... I.. I..don’t know the Puerto Rican that... that I know... or the Puerto Rico, where I'm fr.. in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people." knows the difference between plural and plural possesive?

Well, compared to some of Trump's ramblings it is almost coherent. ;)
Correction: MSDNC.
RCP Betting Average as of 10/29/2024: Trump at 62.8%, Harris at 36.0%
RCP Betting Average as of 10/30/2024: Trump at 64.0%, Harris at 35.1%
🤞 - fingers crossed

Hey Joe.... Why are Trump supporters "garbage"? Is it because we don't take showers with our daughters, grope little girls and sniff their mothers?
Whoa Joe, I see you are pulling your punches. Tell us how you really feel!
Just to recap, here's what a few of the top Democrats think about half the citizens of this country:
Hillary: Basket of Deplorables
Hillary: Desperate Losers who deserve pity
Hillary: Hopeless Basement Dwellers
Hillary: Irredeemables
Obama: Bitter Clingers
Obama: Swamp of Crazy
Biden: Chumps
Biden: Garbage
That's the very
short list.
