I call bullshit on this narrative when the other side of the equation is the guy screaming about tariffs on our largest trade partners.

The other guy is fucking insane and his voters like it. Those people were never going to vote anything other than Republican and it makes no sense to bring them up in a conversation about Democrat failures.

The new trend will be to focus on how the democrats failed. It’s a tactic. Redirecting anger, and the media, to the wrong thing so that the real problem groups operate unnoticed.

Remember how lemmy was ablaze with “Genocide Joe?” Keep an eye on the ML and hexbears, as the usually ride the maga train.

It’ll definitely be a pivot to how the Democrats failed and how everything is their fault when the tariffs kick in and the price of everything skyrockets.

Right. Blame someone else. The American way.

I mean people don't hate him any less for it; it just lost relevance because he stepped down as the presidential nominee.

Then why is anyone still talking about Biden? Time to move on.

It helps when the people don't know what a tariff is so they can literally just lie about they will do.
