It has never been about Trump and it is not about Biden

Even Trump was surprised that he "could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes." What he did not understand then but understands now, is that it is not about him. Not about his integrity. Not about his character. It is about him being the figurehead leader of the cause. In his case, the cause of racism, greed and sexism.

It is also not about Biden. Not about his age or debate capabilities. It is about abortion, democracy and freedom. He could be on life support and not lose any votes.

The anti-Biden Democrats and media need to understand this. This is a clash of two political cultures and beliefs. Leader or no leader.

Below that the many multi-millionaires want their tax cuts.

They'll look the other way to get theirs. They donate for tax cuts.

 

Think. Again.

Democracy vs. fascism.

Seems to me we've been there before, and won.

Saw last night one of our billionaires went to Russia to start up bomb factories for shipment to Vietnam to kill our soldiers. Billionaire was never charged for treason.
