The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.
These days, multiple people who’ve spoken to him over the last year say, Biden often punctuates conversations with: “You think we can actually come back from this?”
The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated.
There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about what is happening as President Donald Trump — the man he defeated in 2020 — returned and moved not just to tear down his accomplishments, but to dig in with petty insults like the autopen photograph he put in Biden’s spot in the “Presidential Walk of Fame” installed at the White House.
I think thats Wishful Thinking. Who is going to fix it? the courts? the DNC? the judiciary? Congress? Some people we need to eventually elect through a rigged system and get a majority with that overthrows the “left-leaning” party? You’d have to fix every single part of government simultaneously, with a left party with no interest in doing so, thats top-to-bottom bribed by the government of Israel who wanted the right to win. And a rightwing party thats openly violent and fascist. I’d argue that history shows us that whats always next is a rise of a violent autocrat followed by a lot of carnage before they are violently put down, or the failed state conquered or puppeted by a foreign power. Or we can split power into a triumverate to slightly delay the inevitable.
This situation has played out time and time again. When Jefferson said the tree of liberty has to be watered by the blood of tyrants this is what he meant. Humans repeatedly forget our history and do exactly this same thing.
