But it’s the kind of “insanity” that comes with believing that you’re invincible; that you can get away with anything; that rules are for others because you know better—and ARE better—than those “others”.

IOW, criminal and/or pathological insanity. that is, no, not even “crazy like a fox”.

(Though to paraphrase Woody Allen—can one still do that?—the country MIGHT in fact vote (or should that be, “vote”?) for them because it “needs the eggs”. In which case the country is in deep trouble.)

I just put up a new post on the subject.

But you misunderstand me if you think I mean that Democratic leaders/operatives are insane in doing this. I think they’re extremely clever. When I mentioned people going insane, I meant the public, those who might vote for Biden because they’re been brainwashed into belief that Trump is evil and/or that Biden isn’t as impaired as he is.

True, in more normal times, it would be absolutely insane. But we are living in insane times. More specifically, the Democratic Party (and therefore, too, its media helots) have decided that going insane is the epitome of good politics.

Nonetheless, the Democrats do have at least one toe grounded in reality, which is why Biden’s not being allowed to “come out of the basement”, except very selectively and under “adult”—such as it is—supervision.

So yes, they do know what they’re doing. They are aware. But they believe that with the assistance of the tremendous amount of flak and garbage being so liberally spewed by the MSCM (one rationale, perhaps, for all the odious reporting on Trump’s Fourth of July speech) and since Biden is NOT (Heaven forfend) BERNIE—even though the Democrats have been encouraging things that go far and beyond the Bernie Bros'(TM) wildest dreams—they can successfully pull off this sleight of hand in November.

All they have to do—so they believe—is to portray Trump as ever and ever more despicable, disgusting, incompetent and dangerous.

Which is what they’re currently doing (since the Russia hoax and those several impeachment efforts didn’t do the trick).

Once again, they’re convinced that they will succeed in this campaign.

On the other hand, can a person (or organization) committed to achieve power AT ANY PRICE; that is convinced that it MUST obtain this power; that is persuaded that nothing it does or says is too crazy (or too destructive) as long as the objective is achieved, really, truly be considered “irrational”?…

But the very odd thing about Biden’s current stance as a blank screen is that, unlike Obama, Biden’s been in the public eye for over 40 years as a very prominent politician. And people have consistently rejected him on the basis of that lengthy record that he’s amassed.

Now in his dotage, as his mind fades, he is recasting himself (or his operatives are?) as a newly-blank screen. So it’s even odder than you say. It’s surpassingly odd, just another indication that many people have lost their minds in the last 4 years.

To some extent, certainly, everyone—especially politicians—might be described in such a way, though some go out of their way to cultivate ambiguity.

Politicians seem to believe this to be a necessity, perhaps even a virtue.

Contrast this to Trump’s extreme WSYWYG-gedness….(Might this be part of the reason he is so despised? But also so admired…?)

In any event, Biden is the ne plus ultra “blank screen”.

And it is precisely his blankness that so many fervently hope and pray will “catch the conscience of the king”.

On the other hand it may be going to far to even refer to Biden as “Blankness Visible”.

It seems far more likely that he’s trending more in the direction of a speech-impaired, not-even vague Chance the Gardener appearing in a highly touted but hugely underwhelming sequel called “Being (Not All) There”.

Unlike many blacks who became conservative, or non-prog/regressive, later on in their lives (i.e. Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell) and then publicly voiced their thoughts, Hughes has been given coveted intellectual positions in think tanks at such a young age without much life experience or time away from politics. This is not to say his positions are wrong or undeveloped, but just that public exposure can make the ego grow. In many ways he benefits from both Williams and Sowell since they have paved the way for him for the non-prog/regressive racial commentary to be heard and to not be automatically dismissed. Unlike Williams and Sowell, Hughes has not yet produced an original piece of work about race on the grounds of what he has already stated and advocated for. As I said, I’ll wait and see – and hope, that he’ll continue on his path.

Eisenhower and Ford were both boring presidents, and I like them just fine.

I feel your pain—but a lot of good my empathy does.

Dem leadership knows that an unapologetic radical i.e. marxist stands little chance of being elected but that’s necessary to the implementation of their next step, so nominating a senile idiot whose record can be twisted to appear to support the assertion that said nominee is a liberal ‘moderate’ is the way to get his radical VP successor into the Presidency. Once in Biden will be ousted through the incapacitation provision of the 25th amendment. That has to be the plan because Biden is incapable of delivering even a State of the Union address much less doing the job.

Anonymously,

News flash! Should Biden be elected, life will NOT return back to normal and will increasingly not be worth living because you will be neither safe nor free. That’s so because the left cannot implement its agenda in a society that is safe and free.
