US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

It's the Pelosi "we'll sign the bill with a battle-cry" cope thing. It's easier to be the perpetual opposition, because you can feel good about it in your powerlessness and never have to worry about doing anything other than double-down. It's a lot harder to actually win and get change done.

Doing things like "Trying to make new social compromises so the natural Overton drift can be reestablished". His crowd is one-half of the doomers I hate, the ones who expect to either get every single thing they want at once or it'd not even be worth it to try.

It's them lashing out at the formation of a new compromise. Something that could fuck the Democrats in the long-term hard.

The simple truth is that on social issues you rarely ever get a 'winner'. Any win towards one side results in an ever-growing resistance to it. See the abortion debate after the left 'won' via Roe. Roe ensured it'd never go away.

Compromises between the right and left require finding a mid-point between the centrists where they can all agree to be equally unhappy. In this case "We will leave you be, so long as you leave everyone else be".

Like I asked you a few months ago. How could the parties peel away voters from eachother.

Trump seems to be the only competitive force in the gop. You'd think the other parties on ether the left or the right would fucking co opt his brand of populism. Or throw the plebs some red meat.

I veiw the progs as being the same as the religious right was back in the 1980/90s very visible very vocal driven by an ideology that didnt work in the real world. (seeing satanist/antichrist everywhere) now its nazi's and domestic terrorism etc.

But of course. They must maintain their purity at all costs. The good is their worst enemy, and they shall create their quagmire and sit in as triumphantly as they can.

It’s ridiculous. He just thinks the perfect candidates can just come out of nowhere. Even if the supposed perfect candidate for Pedro came along, he’d probably try to find something to complain about.

This is an older tweet, but this is the type of mindset he has with political candidates. If Pedro thinks his brand of conservatism is so popular, he really should run for office at some capacity instead of just complaining on the sidelines.

Which is amazing because that's literally what the hardcore progressives do: you give them everything or your a horrible human being. Giving them half or even 90% of what they want makes you a racist.

He's not trying to win elections, he's trying to whip up Twitter outrage for fun and profit.

 

[Oats12345]

Ah, Mr. Gonzalez. Always the pointer of problems and never the solver.

The man popped up out of nowhere after the 2020 election, and now, the Twitter cuckservatives thump him like a gospel.

Also, the pfp. Long is inspirational, but cease the faggotry already.

I haven't even heard of the man until now

Again, you can make the argument that maybe DeSantis would be better than Trump as far as the white rural female vote.

But that's not what's happening. The conservative media is becoming just as ORANGE MAN BAD as the liberal media now.

Well I mean, the progs are right. if you give them anything other than 0% then you're probably racist - against white people.

 

[CrippleThreat]

And stokes division worse than Trump v. DeSantis. Vote for and like either one, but don't bash or belittle anyone who wants one or the other.

 

[JambledUpWords]

Here’s another old tweet by this guy. He pretty much wants a Napoleon/Caesar type to come out of nowhere

 

[mandatorylurk]

I noticed Gonzalez early in the year as he was pointing out the grifters of the AEI and Chamber of Commerce trying to fall back to retarded "Socialism Sucks" generic faggotry, really showing how they tried to reassert control after January. But they never did, Trump's era is firmly here, but that's not good enough even though Trump has clearly punched a hole right into the GOP apparatus and you can work from there.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

Speaking as a right winger that opposes gay marriage for religious reasons, we lost that and we're never getting it back. It's better to take the loss and recognize that we can still work with the LGB (left out the T for obvious reasons) in order to push our agenda. While I disagree with what they do in the bedroom, the real issue is one of class and wasting time squabbling about a battle that's lost while the elite rape the country is stupid.

Who the fuck is this Pedro, anyway? He can go suck my Pedro, for all I care.

How is being gay worse than being a Mexican? He needs to fix his own problems before he criticizes others.

LGB = Let's Go Brandon

I'll say this about the current administration, they are doing everything they can to make sure the Republican nominee will get elected in 2024.

 

[Sithis]

I've voiced before, ITT, my thoughts on why I don't even know if I want a Trump 2024 term or not. But love him or hate him tbh it's pretty much him or DeSantis at this point. And while DeSantis does great on a state level with a state government that is loaded with people that have his back, the big job wouldn't have such amenities. At best he could hope for half the legislative and judicial branches to tentatively have his back while the Dems suddenly rediscover their love for and fondness for the filibuster.
Trump is not necessarily a great politician in the traditional sense. What he is, is a walking, talking, fucking (,) lightning rod. He didn't get the Teflon Don meme, he earned it. And all their seething and hatred is focused on him, and he gives no fucks, even now I don't think he's intimidated at all by their threats of charging him again etc. He's decent at dealmaking and realpolitik, maybe not the best at understanding what's important to everyday people, but on an international stage he understands that America does best when we speak softly and carry a radioactive stick, but that it's also okay to occasionally wipe a plotting enemy general off the face of the earth in plain view of the world if they make you raise your voice. He understood that America does best when America makes the goods America consumes more than America buys goods from other nations, that's what the America first initiative was about. And one thing I really get MATI and loathe the Dems for is for denigrating him so much about Space Force, and I also am led to believe that is in part sabotage by foreign interests who want us grounded from space, because Trump is fucking right, the US is going to get left in the dust without the ability to project military force beyond the earth's atmosphere in the near future. We might reach a point where our enemies don't even see the point to nuke us because they can just blockade us from space access and leave our asses on this dirt ball.
So Trump is more a known quantity to me, and tbh that's why I voted for him the first time round even though I was much less familiar with his political side then. I understand the dude isn't "one of us" and he has a lot of shitty qualities. But, as I have harped on before, that makes him predictable and understandable, plus he does actually love America.

My big concern going into 2024 is a repeat of history a la Teddy Roosevelt, aka a big name brash former president coming in and forming his own party because his former party doesn't want him, then siphoning votes and leading to an opponent victory. If that happens in 2024 the Dems might not even have to break out the trusty ole elect-o-matic fraud machine, because I can easily predict at least 6 in 10 Republicans would vote for Trump if push came to shove at the ballot box and possibly more if he got back to campaign mode, easily the best version of Trump.

I agree. We need to work with them to stop the death of this country.

Focus on reestablishing a normal, natural Overton window drift -now-, let society take care of the rest as the backlash to forcing it to the left for so long kicks in.
