Biden got confused again in a recent speech. He was distracted by (his handlers said) an “unfamiliar noise.” I can only assume he was referring to applause.
If you look closely while he stumbles through speeches these days, you can see the “check engine” light flashing in his eyes.
Of course, he felt cornered after his awkward moment, and instinctively fell back on an old, focus group-tested standby: “Trump is a threat to democracy!” This is not to say that Joe is both scared and hyperbolic in his speeches now, but the captain of the Hindenburg sounded calmer when ordering his crew to go find the fire extinguisher.
Let’s talk about the Dems’ go-to campaign bumper sticker, “A threat to democracy.”
With nothing going well — from the border, inflation and crime to all the foreign wars they are supporting with our tax dollars — Biden and the Dems needed a campaign slogan, one that redirects voters’ thinking away from Biden’s failures and diverts attention to and demeans Trump. They always seem to use the same old trope: “Trump is a threat to democracy.” But if you ask them to define it, they never can.
