With That Speech, Joe Biden Has Totally Given Up on a Key 2020 Promise

So, I guess we can assume Joe Biden has totally abandoned a key 2020 promise, right? It’s dead. Not that anyone believed he could accomplish this during his presidency. I’m not talking about solving the inflation crisis, the gas price fiasco, the baby formula shortage, or the war in Ukraine. We all know Joe can’t do the job. He can’t grow the economy, which shrank last quarter. He has supposedly united the world against Russia following their invasion of Ukraine, but who cares if American mothers can’t feed their kids. The man has a .22 caliber brain for a .357 magnum world. As of now, I’m talking about the 2020 promise of uniting the country. He can’t do it. It was never going to happen given the 2020 election shenanigans. 

I cited The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman this week who had lunch with Joe Biden recently and walked away with the feeling that Joe was incredibly fearful that he couldn’t bridge the divisions in America. He never said it to the columnist outright, but Freidman said it was written all over his face. Flashforward to the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas where 19 young kids were killed along with two teachers. Then, the angry old man came out. He rolled out some bad partisan jokes and once again peddled the same talking points that get us nowhere when these tragedies happen. Katie wrote about that Tuesday.

I want to be your friend, but also shout everything I hate about you to your face. 

Democrats have always overestimated their base of power which is regional and unsustainable when it comes to national elections. They’ve overestimated the appeal of their agenda that only caters to the urban-based, the woke, the rich, and the very, very white. Only rich white liberals can take days off work and scream into the sky about abortion. Only rich white liberals can afford to put solar panels on every square inch of their homes. Only rich white liberals can afford electric cars. These are action items for the elite, and the ethos of the agenda is clear: this is NOT for you. Not sure how that sells when 80 percent of voters are in this ‘not for you’ category. 

Biden can’t unite the country because he has a trash agenda. He’s a terrible speaker. Everyone can see he’s not with it—and he still has to resolve multiple domestic crises. He just can’t do anything right. And then to demonize pro-Bill of Rights Americans in the wake of an awful shooting. 

Uniting the country—that was already a lofty goal with this type of snobby, unhinged, extreme, and utterly deplorable Democratic Party. It was a promise that was already bleeding out; Biden just decided to put a .45 caliber bullet into it.
