In referring to the mid-term elections of 2022, elections in which the polls show Democrats are likely to get slaughtered, Biden stated in his press conference a couple of days ago that he could not vouch for their legitimacy. To quote him verbatim, he said: “The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed.”
The reforms in question are in fact an effort to increase the likelihood of fraud by defeating Republican initiatives to have every voter in the country show unequivocal photographic evidence of both their identity and place of residence. It is an agenda Democrats claim to be racist in intent, though it submits every American citizen, both Black and White, to the same objective standards. This charge of racism, of course, is typical of those consumed by the bigotry of low expectations, those on the Left convinced that America’s Blacks cannot possibly be expected to meet the same standards as their White contemporaries. In a wonderful response to Biden’s claim that the upcoming elections might be a sham, Bill O’Reilly asked: “If voter I.D. is racist, why do most Black voters support it?” “Just show me,” he said, “one human being in America who was denied the right to vote, or had to do something extraordinary to cast their ballot…..Just one! It’s the biggest con in the world!”
Biden’s suggestion that Democrats might be humiliated in the upcoming mid-term elections because of the suppression of those who support him is, to use Kayleigh McEnany’s word, “delusional.” His approval ratings have plummeted because America is disgusted by what he has done. Yet Politico’s Sam Stein, with typical Leftist duplicity, ascribes Biden’s plunging popularity to the “hatred” fomented by the political Right. It is the stratagem habitually employed by those whose Ideas and Values are so questionable that they are left with no other option but to avoid discussions of substance by simply claiming those who oppose them are just very nasty people.
What is truly appalling, however, is the refusal of the mainstream media to hold Biden to the same standards to which it held Trump who, when he suggested in the summer of 2020 that the upcoming election might be stolen from him, was accused of fomenting discord and undermining the very principles of a Liberal Democracy.
