RW media's insistence that Biden is "frail" & controlled by others shows they're terrified of him

[highplainsdem]

Biden is polling better than Trump ever did.

And he's governing competently, with empathy, and without Trump's embarrassing theatrics and obvious malice and stupidity.

He's the anti-Trump, and RW media is aware that some Republican voters, and a LOT of independents whose votes they need, find that appealing. And are likely to find that more and more appealing as Biden continues to show he's good at governing, and committed to uniting the country as much as possible.

So the narrative -- for months now, and it's still continuing and was even the lead segment last night on both Hannity's show and on the highest-rated Newsmax show, Greg Kelly's, which Sebastian Gorka was guest-hosting -- is that Biden is "frail" and incompetent. That he isn't in command. That he's the puppet of more dangerous people around him, whether the villains du jour are Harris or Pelosi or AOC or Sanders.

The RW pundit narrative is, "Don't believe your lying eyes. At least not unless you're watching only our selectively edited clips of Biden gaffes."

That narrative didn't work during the campaign, and it has less and less chance of working as day after competent, non-crazy day is added to Biden's record as president.

1. Thx for posting highplainsdem! So tired of all the whacko cpac crap

[highplainsdem]

3. You're welcome!

I like posting about Biden.

But I hafta admit I consider CPAC relevant, too -- it's important to know what your enemy is up to, especially after one attempted insurrection -- and I also like ridiculing Republicans. So I've posted a dozen or so threads on CPAC the last couple of days.

8. Yes cprap and what they say is relevant.....

Knowing what is going on without being overwhelmed with their negative bs...it’s a balancing act

2. It doesn't show they're "terrified" of him.

It’s just one of the many tactics they use to try to wear down Biden’s public support.

4. They're scared because he's popular.

They’re trying to bring down his popularity but it won’t work because they’re preaching to the fascist choir.

5. Yep, I know some of the suckers who believe such bullshit.

Some of it's a holdover from the election, and they actually believe that Biden is the one with dementia, in spite of the overwhelming evidence that the actual weak, frail dementia patient is their Dear Leader., who huffs and puffs and gasps for breath. Captain Cofveve bragged about "acing" his dementia test, and doesn't even have the strength to walk a fucking golf course with a caddy carrying his bags.

13. Unnnn, that stick doesn't work outside of MAGA Media though. It doesn't make sense to

... any other adult thinking person.

The middle ground isn't moved by MAGA Media lingo, we learned that last Nov

6. Biden, Harris, AOC, Pelosi, whatever...

We just need to make them aware of who's really helping the American people and that is DEMOCRATS!!

7. Biden is a Boss.

I hardly watch the news these days because I know he's got them on the run.

10. Indeed...I love his 10 word or less statements, Jen Psaki too that shut their shit show down

11. Rethugs simply cannot relate to anyone not in a constant state of rage and resentment.

They and their media promote fear and resentment toward anything not in their R-W bubble.

It's time for Republicans to get off their pity pot and relearn what calm, rational governing is all about.

No better teachers than Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.....

12. Trump supporters are very stupid people

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Biden can ride a bicycle while the orange blob needs a golf cart to get around.

Tell me who's frail.

15. 'Speak softly, and carry a big stick'.

Moderate language does not mean moderate outcomes.

[LizBeth]

16. I do not think it shows they are terrified but shows they have nothing on him and Democrats and this

is the best they can do. Even creating lies to go after him, this is it. Oh and Champ is too old for pictures and Joe and Jill are faking it.

17. They're not afraid of Biden.

It's dog-whistle racism. They want to stir the pot to scare their ignorant base about Harris having to assume the presidency if something happens to Biden. It keeps 'em riled up to think a Black Asian woman could be President.

[crickets]

18. That's definitely part of it.

Meanwhile, Biden is still skillfully steering things along. I think they don't know which part they hate more: that Biden is competent or that our female Black Asian VP is as well.

19. Biden comes across as a nice, personable old guy (grandfatherly) who gets things done

The last President who came across like that was Reagan and he got quite a bit done, unfortunately for the US. It would only be poetic justice for Biden to finish the job of ending the Reagan revolution for good.
The right-wing media is going to throw a fit when the Reagan comparisons start, based on age and personality, regardless of the huge difference in politics-- with Biden being progressive and Reagan regressive.
