Joe Biden has a lot of problems, of course, some of them personal, some of them moral, but many of them political. He is 81 years old now, he’s senile, often appears demented, and he never was very smart to begin with. His economy is in ashes, he has destroyed America’s borders, the nations of the world are laughing at him—he has been a disaster for America in every conceivable way. But he wants four more years as President of the United States, and there is no guarantee yet that he won’t get them.
But the Far Left of the Democratic Party is difficult for him. The Squad, the AOCs, the Pelosis and Schumers—this bunch has politically and morally captured the Democratic Party. They control the agenda, and they get what they want.
The “mainstream” media, Hollywood, and academia, for varying motivations, issues, and rationales, are behind this radical wing of the party, and they support, protect, and broadcast it at every available opportunity. It is Marxist, atheist, anti-Christian, totally anti-American, anti-traditional American values, anti-everything America has been in the past. Such as Israel. It has become the hard core of the Democratic Party. It rules and dominates the party in Washington and state governments, and it continues to try to drag the party—and America—farther and farther to the Left. The Deep State is on board, and many Republicans, like Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell, are being led by the nose behind them with absolutely no intestinal fortitude to stand up and oppose this blatant attempt to destroy the country. How many good Republicans are left in Congress? Well, you might have to take off one shoe to count them, but then again, maybe not.
This radical Left wing in the Democratic Party is pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, and anti-Israel for the simple reason that pro-Israel is the traditional American position.
And currently, THAT is Joe Biden’s biggest problem.
I believe (hope) there are still a lot of “common, everyday” Democrats in America, the kind Joe Biden USED to be. The FDR, JFK, LBJ, HHH Democrats. These “common, everyday” Democrats have drifted left with their party because their DNA is Democrat, but they aren’t the radical, hard-left nuts that now command the Democratic Party in Congress, media, and academia. These “common, everyday” Democrats are pro-Israel—America in the past would never have become pro-Israel without them, thank you, Harry Truman. These “traditional” (pardon that word) Democrats are not pro-Hamas, and many are appalled at the pro-Palestinian thugs marauding on and manipulating college campuses today.
But the “common, everyday” Democrats ARE Democrats (it’s in their DNA), and most of them are going to shrug and vote Democrat until that party finally destroys the United States and they won’t be able to vote for anybody anymore.
Dead dog Democrats.
But this Israel thing may have caused some of them (we hope) to begin to think, to finally start waking up to what their party has actually become. Some of them may even think they love America, and may be shaken to see just how far left the AOCs have taken their once beloved, JFK party. This isn’t the Democratic Party they grew up with. They aren’t Marxist atheists. Some of them may even go to church and believe in Jesus. And they can’t like what they see. Certainly the Jewish Democrats can’t.
Joe Biden needs them. They ARE still a substantial portion of his political party. Now, Biden is a very, very weak man who has totally succumbed to the radical Leftists in the Democratic Party. He gives them whatever they want. Weak people can’t say “NO!”, and that is another serious problem Biden has. A man who, less than 20 years ago, agreed that abortion needs to be safe and rare, is now willing to give the extremists of his party abortion up to and beyond birth. The man is a slithering coward who is helping the Leftists destroy America with their globalism and licentious ungodliness.
And the Left is the core of the party. It is pro-Hamas and anti-Israel. Biden MUST appease them. That is where the political power in his party now resides.
But what are the pro-Israel “common, everyday” Democrats going to do?
Biden does have one thing going for him, and I’m sorry, but it’s Donald Trump. Many “common, everyday” Democrats may not like Biden and the far left of their party, but they hate Trump. And it will be very, very difficult for them to surrender their traditional loyalty to their party, regardless of how putrid and radical that party has become, and vote for Trump. Trump’s electability was a major reason some of us supported other candidates in the primary. But he won, he’s our candidate, and we all must get behind him.
You and I can do that. Can enough—can ANY—of these “common everyday,” FDR, JFK, and LBJ Democrats vote for Trump? Are there any “Trump Democrats” out there? (Some of you remember the “Reagan Democrats.”)
Biden must have these people and he knows it. He must kiss the backsides of his far left, pro-Hamas political base, but he also needs to at least try to convince “traditional” Democrats that he’s not really anti-Israel. It’s a humongous assignment for a man without a brain.
Most Democrats will vote for Biden just because that’s what Democrats do—they vote Party before God, country, or issue. America can go to hades, they are going to vote Democrat. Many Democrats don’t like Biden, and certainly don’t approve of what his radical leftists are doing to Israel and America. But they are Democrats. And they hate Trump.
They’ve got a problem, too: it’s either America or Biden and the now far-left Democratic Party. It’s kinda fun to watch the Democrats eat each other. Well, it would be fun if it wasn’t destroying our country.
