Republicans tried, unsuccessfully, to turn Biden into a Boogeyman like they did with Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Biden just doesn’t have that image.
Biden’s character is…unimpeachable. Not everyone loves him, but it’s difficult to find rabid hatred of him.
Sure, Hunter Biden and James Biden seem like opportunists, even sleazy opportunists, but that is not a crime, and so is Jared Kushner, and Ivanka and Don Jr. and Don Jr’s wife, etc. etc.
If there was ANY EVIDENCE of a Joe Biden crime, even a sniff of one, we would have heard all about it.
Do you want to know what the big guy got ten percent for? Do you want to know why they needed 20 shell companies? What Biden’s family did to earn millions from foreign companies? Why he forced the firing of a foreign prosecutor who was prosecuting Burisma? Do you have any curiosity as to why these things happened? Or are you simply assuming that your zombie is a perfect angel?
I’m shocked: I figured the GOP would be able to gin up something on a guy who’s been around so long, who mouths off, who used to be the standard bearer of gaffe-itude before we decided to have no standards. The whole “Biden Crime Family” angle was a an early tell.
The same people turned Barack Obama, a home-brewing dork who interviewed Marilyn Robinson and puts Dijon mustard on his hamburgers, into some Marxist Islamist Black-Power Terrorist-enjoyer. At this point, I’m thinking: Biden must be less corrupt than I assumed.
I agree. It’s the same with the 2020 election. Most of us were open to evidence, procedures, and standards that we all (I assumed) agreed upon. I don’t want presidents of any party elected through massive voter fraud.
But it seems like the GOP is less interested in trying any particular case conscientiously, and more interested in destroying our previous standards of evidence and procedures. It’s like you’re playing a game, and while the other team is trying to “win,” they’re even more invested in killing all the referees and making sure no one believes in the rule book anymore.
