Good-bye to four years of ‘malaise’
In 1979, Jimmy Carter gave a speech about a “crisis of confidence” in America. It became known as his “Malaise” speech, though Carter never used that exact word in it. Malaise is a vague feeling of unease or discomfort, sometimes related to illness, or to the general condition of one’s society — a sense of futility.
Biden made us endure “malaise” for four long, inept years.
No one could be wrong on most domestic and international issues as often as Biden was merely by accident. Even “flipping a coin” would make you right sometimes; Biden’s incompetence seemed to stem more from a deliberate malevolence towards millions of average, everyday Americans who disagreed with him. Hence, you were not merely wrong; you became “semi-fascist” or “garbage,” for example.
Biden exemplifies Marc Antony’s speech at Caesar’s funeral: “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Biden did very little “good” that could be buried with his bones. But the harm, corruption and evil he has perpetrated will live on, and that’s his true “legacy.”
