An Argentine friend in Canada challenged me about the absurdity of Trump vs. Biden. Really, he said. Can’t you Americans come up with anyone better?
He got me thinking. How come we, the last best hope of mankind on Earth, are oppressed with the senile left-adjacent stupidities of President Biden? And the crude mean tweets of Trump, the man that organized a monstrous and unprecedented insurrection against the nation’s holiest of holies, the U.S. Capitol? Surely, we special people deserve better!
We got Biden because our noble educated class, with its conceited ideas of saving the workers from the capitalists, the women from the patriarchs, the blacks from the racists, the gays from Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the transgenders from J.K. Rowling, is not the noble nobility it imagines itself to be, but instead a hegemonic, dominatory ruling class that gets its kicks by bossing the plebs around. And it has Made Things Worse, for workers, for women, for Blacks, for LGBTs even more than the deserved punishments it has meted out the evil White male oppressors.
If indeed our educated class has made things worse, then it’s entirely appropriate that in the confusion of 2020 and the danger of Bernie Sanders getting the Democratic nomination, our anointed rulers should trip over their chrismarias and nominate the senile Joe Biden.
Or maybe our liberal friends deserve Joe Biden, of whom the sainted — and anointed — Barack Obama said that we should never underestimate his ability to… You know what.
For me, the Biden presidency is proof of the inability of our elites to understand that politics is good for nothing except making enemies and eventually running out of other peoples’ money.
