The Hard Truth: Biden Is Done

Why are the Democrats so blind to the cliff they’re stumbling over? The answer, of course, is that they’ve become a kind of church. A faith system where honest self-criticism is sacrificed on the altar of positivity to keep anyone from asking pointed questions. It’s another American pyramid scheme run by people with a lot of money and a vested interest in pretending that they care about the rest of us. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/31/books/review/the-last-politician-franklin-foer.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">A recent book looking closely at</a> the first two years of the Biden Administration reveals what I’ve been afraid was true about him from day one: he’s an empty vessel at heart, a cipher for the party whose political strategy amounts to letting everyone he comes into contact with project whatever they want to believe onto him. That in turn has let Bidenworld act as if he’s the second coming of FDR, a disastrous conceit that is primarily meant to keep the media from criticizing him too much — or asking too many questions about his health and family business. The American people were rather famously lied to about FDR’s need to use a wheelchair: one has to wonder what other inconvenient aspects of the administration are being hidden. But speaking strictly in scientific, adaptive cycle terms, Biden is the ideal kind of manager for the Summer phase of a system: a time when efficiency matters and maintaining good relationships keep everything humming along. But the rise of Trump proved, as I’ve been arguing for about a decade now, that the USA has entered the Autumn phase: a time of collapse and loss, when the ideal strategy is to ride the waves of chaos while offering a clear vision of what life looks like on the other side. <a href="https://andrewmtanner.medium.com/the-hard-truth-biden-is-done-b8126fae2364">Click Here</a>
