A while back, I was talking to a friend about his parents. He said there’s a day everyone gets to when you suddenly realize your parents just aren’t the people they once were. There just seems to be a definitive moment — an event — wherein you realize your parents just aren’t quite capable of taking care of themselves or doing things they once were. It’s like a switch flips and they go from senior citizen to old.
Republicans have long said Joe Biden is old, but it could easily be dismissed as partisan talking points. If you listen to me on the radio, I have noted the Joe Biden of 2016 is not the Joe Biden of now. John Ellis has finally said publicly what a lot of people are noticing. Just watch this clip.
This is happening more and more. They’ve tried to blame it on a stutter or talking too fast or some other excuse, but it is becoming a pattern of verbal ineptitude.
Democrats can scream that at least Biden is not Trump with all the pejoratives they make about Trump, but Biden is showing his age and cloudy mind. For all the talk about the 25th Amendment when Trump was President, I’m surprised Republicans haven’t started talking about it. We’re now at the “butt wipe” stage of utterances — did Joe Biden say his butt got wiped or mumble something else yesterday.
It is remarkable how the press is so protective of Biden that they aren’t willing to really talk about what is happening before our eyes.
On top of that, Kamala Harris has, as I predicted, largely disappeared from the scene after several disastrous weeks. She now polls terribly with the public and Democrats have no confidence she could fight off Ron DeSantis in 2024, let alone keep the Democratic Party together. The party is fracturing.
The media is always more obsessed with the GOP and its internal squabbling, but the Democrats have had a series of fights between the left and hard left and it is driving non-white voters towards the GOP. The dynamics of both parties are going to be remarkably different by 2024 at the present rate.
I do think the media, however obsessed and dependent they are on Trump for ratings, have a hard time talking about this stuff because they have circled their wagons around the Democrats to protect them from Trump and the GOP. The media, now more than ever openly willing to affiliate with the Democrats, is providing the GOP a secret weapon for 2022 and 2024.
As so much of the press and Democrats inhabit a bubble no one else does, they have lost sight on what Americans care about, what Americans think, and how Americans are proceeding into the election. They highlight the free stuff Democrats want to give everyone and ignore the police are not funded, the wokes are funded, and the boys are taking up residence in the girls’ sports and bathrooms. People will vote against their supposed economic interests to protect their cultural interests. The left and much of the left-leaning press cannot see that because their cultural interests are being advanced at the expense of the average American.
Hey, all you 2016 Trump voters who abandoned him in 2020, citing the Great American Leftmedia narrative about nonexistent "Russian collusion" and Trump's mean tweets: How's that decision looking for you NOW?
Should his mental health become a noticeable problem and the dems turn on him, I shudder to think of the alternative. Lord help us all!
