Biden is Floundering
Identity politics and intersectionality has dominated Biden's administration. It has had poor results, and people are noticing.
Biden’s first State of the Union address occurred a couple of weeks ago. In it, Biden tried to portray a positive view of where we are as a nation. Other than his remarks on Ukraine, he completely bombed the speech. His robotic reading of a teleprompter making statements about unity and American resolve fell short of people’s hopes and expectations. His grand promises to help poor and middle-class Americans came with no plans to see them through. In other words, it was another typical day for the Biden administration.
Joe Biden’s incompetence has been clear from the day he became a congressional representative. He has been a government official for longer than most Americans have been alive, and his record is awful. In his first presidential run, he had to drop out of the race after he got caught plagiarizing speeches from others. He tried again two more times to win the presidency but lost by significant margins.
As a United States Senator, the most memorable moment from his career is his complimenting of and compromises with segregationists. He was attacked by Kamala Harris for this in the Democratic Presidential Debates. She called him a racist in front of the whole country and tried to portray herself as a victim of his policies. Too bad for her no one in her own party liked her.
Since becoming president, Joe has continued to show he is unfit to be there. His gaffes have made the rounds on social media. They are not only amusing to his political opponents but signals to our enemies that our leaders are weak.
An even more shocking display of cowardice is when Joe Biden selected the woman who viciously attacked him for being an evil, racist segregationist; Kamala Harris. Why did Joe Biden select arguably the least popular politician in the whole country as his running mate? She fulfilled the two most important criteria for Democrats these days: she was black and a woman. Her skin color and gender were the most important considerations in her selection and it shows. Her lack of knowledge regarding foreign and domestic issues is not surprising given her qualifications.
When asked to explain the war between Ukraine and Russia, Mrs. Harris stated that “Russia is a bigger country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country named Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong.” Such a child-like response shows that not only does Kamala not know what she is talking about, she thinks you are just as dumb and uneducated.
“So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.” -Kamala Harris
Even after a horrible VP pick, Biden stuck to his method of choosing candidates for important roles. His nomination to the Supreme Court was made based on two characteristics: they must be black, and they must be a woman. His strategy to eliminate most of the population from being considered based on nothing but race and gender all but ensures that he did not pick the best candidate for the job, as no consideration was given to the abilities of the individual selected. To be fair, I know very little about his pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson. From what I do know, she is a qualified and respected Judge, but Joe Biden boxed himself in and discriminated against people based on skin color. There is no reason to think she is the best person for the job.
Biden’s gaffes on the campaign trail and since taking office have allowed us to see inside the head of our Commander in Chief. While individually, they seem like only moments of forgetfulness, together, they show that our leader is in mental decline. He forgets where he is, what he is talking about. His ramblings about nothing have become viral memes on the internet. On the campaign trail, he forgot where he was, what he was running for, and once even forgot who his wife was.
So, Biden can continue to eat his ice cream on Air Force 1. He can continue being the incompetent fool that any rational person sees him as. He can continue to elevate race and gender as the defining characteristics of a person. The path he has taken is not popular, and without a wild change in direction from his administration, his approval rating will continue to sink, and 2022 will be a bloodbath for his party.
