President Joe Biden, who wears bespoke sneakers to prevent embarrassing collapses and whose command of the English language rivals that of most kindergarteners, is in bad political shape. Uncle Joe’s re-election campaign faces an uphill climb, given his disastrous handling of the economy—including a formal recession and four-decade-high inflation—and his abetting a catastrophic and historically unprecedented invasion on our southern border. Cynicism and a sense of malaise are ubiquitous, and Americans overwhelmingly think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. Monday’s New York Times/Siena College poll reflects this: former President Donald Trump currently leads in five of the six most crucial swing states.
Given their terrible candidate, the candidate’s awful track record, and their tremendous (if unjustified) fear that a second Trump term would pose an existential threat to “our democracy” (which they disingenuously claim to care about), it is unsurprising that Democrats have resorted to some of the slimiest tactics imaginable to derail Trump’s comeback bid and push their senile octogenarian across the November finish line. Properly skeptical of their chances to topple Trump in a fair mano-a-mano, the Democrat-Lawfare Complex in 2023 conjured up four separate criminal prosecutions—two federal probes and two state probes—targeting the 45th president. After all, if you can’t beat him, then … prosecute and incarcerate him! All in the name of “our democracy,” naturally.
Suffice it to say that the Democrat-Lawfare Complex’s brazen, cynical attempt to subvert our constitutional order in the name of saving it has not gone according to plan.
