During his (maybe final) speech this week, President Joe Biden told the nation that it's all about us, the people ... like a geriatric version of Bane with worse respiratory problems.
Here's the thing: it's not about us. It's about them.
Yes, it's all about Joe Biden, who spent the speech slurring his way through a fictional version of his own pathetic legacy.
But it's mostly about the regime.
And the regime is all that matters.
That's why they can go on and on and on about protecting "democracy" before installing their own candidate, despite Kamala Harris never receiving a single vote in a presidential primary.
That's why they can rally around their chosen candidate, televising endorsements from the Obamas as if that's all us normal plebs need to know.
That's why the media ask "how high" when the Democratic Party tells them to jump.
I mean, how can you not hate the media? According to them, Kamala Harris was never "border czar" (she was), she never raised funds for BLM rioters (she did), and she was never deemed to be the most liberal senator by GovTrack in 2019.
The regime thinks so little of you, the lowly American voter, that they think they can spoon-feed you feces and inform you โ through gleaming veneered grins โ that it's chocolate ice cream.
Not only that, we must be grateful for this delicious ice cream, and thank them for it.
How lucky we are to have such warriors for our rights!
The truth is, we don't live in a Democratic Republic anymore. We live in a pseudo-monarchy, where a handful of elites like the Obamas are fighting in the shadows to maintain complete control over the country. In reality, they want democracy to be a mere theatrical veil used to hide their total grip on power, meant to keep us distracted with the illusion that we have any control over what happens.
They hate you.
Vote accordingly.
