Joe Biden gave an inflammatory speech in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 1. In this speech, and against a scarily blood-red background, he continued the leftist obsession with Donald Trump even though Trump has been out of office for two years now. Having long forgotten his pious words about being a uniter, Biden, in his speech, essentially condemned half the country for its beliefs, hilariously calling the other side of the aisle disrespecters of the Constitution—a classic case of leftist projection if ever there was one.To me, this can only mean the left sees Trump as a major threat still, and to be fair, Trump is just that. Biden's gaffes and bumbles and senile rhetoric have only hardened support for Trump, and while there are reasons to think that a "red wave" this November won't be such a great thing (because the GOP has a history of doing little to nothing after seizing power—quite unlike the left, which immediately and gleefully uses that power to destroy whatever it can), there can be no doubt a red wave is coming, and that there will be a great reckoning in 2024. Read this article and weep. It talks in part about what wasn't covered by Biden:
Nothing to lower inflation. [...] Nothing to secure the southern border. Nothing on skyrocketing crime.
Styx adds his two cents:
Full disclosure—a wider shot reveals some blue in the background:

| but the blue sure feels marginalized, like an afterthought; red—anger—is front and center (lefties: you know you'd be saying the same thing if this were Trump, so don't even try BSing) |
ADDENDUM: Twitter has a field day with Biden's angry speech. Cornholio.
ADDENDUM 2: PJW's reaction:
Sounds like Biden is talking about me and you. Scary in the sense that he is attacking people who are more pro-democracy and patriotic than he is. Not so scary in the sense that he is too incompetent to find a way to take us out. In fact, I reckon this speech makes the so-called MAGA movement stronger.
ReplyDeleteIn my (relatively uneducated) opinion, the only chance the Democrats have of winning the Presidency in 2024 Is if President Trump is the Republican nominee.
ReplyDelete~30% - 40% of people will vote for Trump regardless of what he does or says.
~30% - 40% of people will vote against Trump regardless of what he does or says.
It is the middle 30% that will decide the election. My take (after talking to a variety of people on both sides of the aisle) is that middle 30% is leaning away from Trump at the moment. This includes people who were pretty big Trump backers in 2016 and 2020. They are thinking of voting for the Democrat (depending on who that is) or sitting out the election if the Democratic nominee is someone they don't like.
Interestingly, Paul Joseph Watson (the rightie YouTuber who Lauren Southern said was a piece of garbage in real life) just put out a video that says something vaguely similar: there's a lot of disaffection out there, and plenty of people want neither Trump nor Biden. But PJW says he can't make heads or tails of the stats coming out of various surveys that consider different permutations of Trump, DeSantis, Biden, etc.
