I admit the night of the debate was deflating but, I realized as my co-workers texted memes at me these were people who were going to vote Trump no matter what and of course the rightwing media was going to denigrate, besmirch, and slander no matter what.
More distressing were the erstwhile liberals, leftist I told ya so, and media pundits who shit themselves and then shit all over President Biden demanding he withdraw.
Well... FUCK THEM! Traitor Trump needs to withdraw and won't. There is a pathology of defeatism which has been part and parcel of the Democratic Party since Ronnie Raygun There You Go Agained them into a defensive crouch.I'm with Will Stancil, who posted on X-Twitter, history is going to view the video of President Biden being the only person standing up to Trump's torrent of bullshit and lies a lot differently than we did that night.
Trump is an outright fascist, a rapist, a bigot, and a thief. And Joe Biden has the courage to stand up against him. I'm not going to let Trump steal the White House and fuck over millions of Americans because a bunch of people keep pointing out Joe Biden is old.
The first fucking question in that abomination of a "Debate" should have been 'Who won the 2020 election?' But, instead it allowed the Traitor to spew lies about abortion, about Roe v. Wade, about immigration, about social security, about everything, and we're going to sit here and declare oh well, Joe's old we therefore have to allow the consummate conman and Traitor back into the White House.
Look Republicans love lies and hate America but that doesn't mean we need to allow them to regain power because we're depressed or worried about Joe's age. Depressing and suppressing the vote has been the tactic of Republicans for decades. It's time to decide what you believe in and what you're willing to do. Because even if Trump's cabal of criminal confederates can't pull off their Project 2025 scheme, they have no intention of allowing American Democracy to exist anymore.
Stop fighting a rear-guard action, take the offensive, Joe Biden's Presidency has a record of substantial progressive accomplishments (which is why Traitor Trump has tried to take credit for everything he didn't do) from withdrawing from Afghanistan to the price of Insulin, student debt relief to infrastructure but, the Corporate Media hates him because he distrusts and dislikes them, so they've decided to undermine Biden at every opportunity and just dismiss Trump's wild lies, categorical criminalist, and continued bullshit of blaming Nancy Pelosi for Trump's attempted Coup and overthrow of the United States Government.
Republican lies and perfidy didn't begin with Trump and they won't end when Donald dies shitting himself on his gold plated toilet. Fortunately, a lot of stalwart and successful Democratic officials have rallied to Joe Biden's side, as befits defending a Good Man against a fucking disgusting lying criminal.
President's Obama and Clinton both issued good statements. DNC Chariman Jamie Harrison pointed out that President Biden has always had our backs so we should have his. And the Philadelphia Inquirer finally stood up and said Trump needs to withdraw, so stop calling for President Biden to withdraw when a wholly unfit for office Fascist Traitor is proclaiming his goal of Ending the American Experiment and ushering in the transformation of the Nation into a NeoConfederate White Supremacist Evangelical hellhole.
As, the Philadelphia Inquirer editorial states, Biden on his worst day remains lightyears better than Trump on his best. The least you can do is vote to stop Trump and his Fascist design for America, do more if you can, and be brave because Republicans have their eyes on the Big Prize, the Ultimate Prize they lost in 1865; the destruction of the United States of America and the creation of a Nation built upon christian hatred and white power. The pain, sorrow, and hell Republicans yearn to visit upon millions of people and are already doing in States they control should let you know the stakes.
