In reply to the discussion: Flurry of Dem doom reports today [View all]betsuni
(29,363 posts)The other day on the nightly news a person complained that what's in their wallet is shrinking and gas prices increasing, sort of out of the blue. The country's going in the wrong direction, we're all supposed to think.
Even if from now until next November the economy is fine and prices aren't going up, a sense of doom that disaster is right around the corner. When Republicans are in charge everything's great until disaster and then it's: How did that happen we didn't see that coming how unexpected and totally not Republicans fault. Now it's impending doom because disarrayed Democrats don't do anything or mess things up; the nice Republicans are the competent adult party waiting in the wings to bring back order and success. It's insane.
But Hunter Biden. Following the rule that if you can't go after accomplishments and policy, go after character, we're supposed to think President Biden is a liar. An old liar who breaks promises and ignores everyone. Black voters will be targeted and encouraged to be cynical and leave the party because taken for granted, young voters will be targeted and told that Biden doesn't listen to them about climate change and is digging in their backyards for oil right now. "Ignore" is my trigger word.
For some reason this whole thing reminds me of when the waiter in a restaurant tells you the specials and asks if there are any questions and your dining companion makes them go through the list again in detail and ten minutes later orders what they always order anyway. What a waste of time.
