Despite the last-minute jockeying among worried Democrats, Joe Biden has taken the plunge and announced his candidacy for reelection.
It’s tempting to think that nobody as mentally and physically compromised or as manifestly incompetent at his job could get reelected to the presidency. In a normal world, it would be insane to think he could.
We don’t live in a normal world. John Fetterman is a US Senator. AOC is a major political figure. Gavin Newsom – perhaps the most destructive governor in my lifetime – is a president-in-waiting if the Democrats have their way.
The world has gone insane. Joe Biden could get reelected if we don’t stop it.
The world may be insane, but it is easy to forget that most Americans actually are not. What they are is scared.
Everybody knows that things are going in the wrong direction, but they aren’t sure what to do about it. Most of the country wants Joe Biden gone, but almost as many don’t want his most likely Republican opponent to return to the White House, rightly or wrongly. They feel trapped and vulnerable. They are bombarded by propaganda, lied to constantly, and have no idea who or what to trust.
