Can Biden Backers Be Comfortable With Their Train Wreck?

By now I’d like to think Biden voters are suffering from crippling buyers’ remorse.

Not that they’d admit it publicly, of course. But deep in their lost souls they must be thinking they made a terrible mistake.

Can they really be comfortable with $5-a-gallon-gas, not to mention runaway prices in various other necessities such as housing and food?

Can they ignore the decline in their investments as the policies of the Biden regime have tanked stock and bond prices at the same time? Stocks suffered their worse first half of a year since 1970. Government bonds of 10-year duration haven’t begun a year this poorly since . . . 1788!

Can they be pleased now that it seems likely when measures of the economic quarter that ended June 30 come out they will show the nation to be in a recession as defined by consecutive quarters of contraction?

Can they feel good about the ham-handed foreign policy that has us on the brink of an ongoing proxy war with a nuclear power turning into a full-on, face-to-face confrontation?

Can they accept the open-border policy that has produced crisis in the form of massive deaths due to human traffickers?

The list could continue, but you get the point.

Ronald Reagan famously asked the electorate in 1980 if the voters believed they were better off than they had been four years earlier, when they elected Jimmy Carter?

The answer, as provided by Reagan’s landslide victory, was a resounding no,

In many ways our current situation is much worse than in 1980. For all his leadership weakness, Carter was at heart a decent and honorable man. It’s hard to argue the same for Biden.

Carter’s mental acuity was, and seems to still be, superior to that of Biden.

The nation in 1980 was suffering from the newly coined term stagflation, meaning a witches’ brew of inflation and economic stagnation, but still had relatively low debt both private and public and so had resources to deal with the problem. That is not the case today.

In 1980 the nation had yet to be balkanized into hard-core tribes divided by politics, religion, sexual orientation, race or whatever convenient wedge progressives use to foment unrest.

Maybe you are better off than before Biden took office, but I am not and I have a lot of company,.

Biden voters, and those gifted vote counters who conspired to place this human-sized vegetable in the Oval Office, are as daft as Biden if they cannot concede, at least to themselves, that their man is an ongoing train wreck of a president.
