Joe Biden’s decline into the ravaging maelstrom of deep old age is becoming the clearest measure that these are indeed the last days of American democracy. This fumbling enfeebled man is proving derelict as an electoral system is systemically rigged by a Democratic Party out to turn America into a woke wasteland. Old Joe sleeps through every event, every crisis, shaming America with his doddering, flatulent, stumbling piety that is the embodiment of that shambling incontinent liberalism that would soil the legacy of the Found Fathers…
It pained me to write that.
Not because I thought any of it true but because it reminded me that political punditry is often character assassination by another name. It isn’t difficult to weaponise rhetoric, weave language in some attractive way to deceive and flatter. Want a thousand words that pander to your world fears? We can do that. We can all write a hit piece that will confirm your deepest prejudices. The only question is: why would we want to do that?
