I have been posing the following question for many months on my Facebook feed.
"Why did you vote for Joe Biden?Seriously why?"
No one has bothered to answer it. In this blog post I will take a shot at it. You can be the judge if the shoe fits. But before I do, please read this linked article which sets the stage for what I will say.
Biden’s aweful results were predictable! Here is what we knew on election day:
1. He's been more inaccessible to voters and the media than any Presidential candidate in decades.
2. He wouldn't address serious signs of his son's influence pedaling and corruption and very valid concerns that China, Russia and Iran stood to gain from Biden’s conflicts of interest.
3. He would damage energy production and our achieved energy independence and energy exports.
4. He would dismantle our border security and literally promote a crisis at our border. Heaven knows the damage to come from that.
5. He had an absolutely terrible reputation for bad judgment on foreign affairs and big decisions.
6. He chose the worst vice president.
7. He was notorious for racist, sexist and factual gaffes and his behavior around little girls was beyond creepy.
8. His cognitive capacity was obviously questionable and unlike Trump who went to lengths to prove he was fit for office, Biden mocked the notion of any testing?
9. He was literally engaged in the Russian collusion Hoax and must have known the Steel Dosier was a fraud.
10. It was obvious the Biden was influenced by the "Squad" and was moving to the radical Left on everything thing from killing the filibuster to voting reform to critical race theory. And, if he could get away with packing the court he'd do it in a minute.
11. He campaigned from his basement!
I could go on, but the point is that Biden’s presidency is turning out just as could be expected! So I will recall the question again and then I will offer a possible answer. See if the shoe fits.
If there were so many reasons not to vote for Biden, then why did people vote for him?
People voted for the only Democrat candidate they thought could beat Trump. It wasn't so much a vote for Biden as a vote against Trump.
Hate for Trump and his supporters drove Biden voters to the polls. A vote for Biden was less a vote FOR Biden to be the POTUS than it was the desire for relief from the sickness and contempt people felt every time they looked at Trump.
In effect, for more than a deciding number of voters who voted for Biden the act of "pulling the lever" was a psychologically violent act against Trump. Voting was vengeful. It was about as gratifying as hitting Trump over the head. Many wished him dead from covid.
Biden embodied hatred and contempt for Trump. He proudly spoke of taking Trump out back and beating him up. He verbally pounced on Trump supporters who dared to question him at his rare public appearances. Biden exploited and encouraged hatred for Trump, and media fed him him every opportunity to do so.
For the other half who voted FOR Trump whether we liked him or loved him or simply tolerated his antics and obvious character flaws, we pulled the lever for what Trump's policies and leadership was accomplishing. Which is nearly everything that Biden has managed to destroy in just 12 months. The train wreck isn't over!
Biden PROMISED to reverse everything that Trump did. Those who voted for Biden got precisely what they voted for. Their will never be another one like Trump.
Biden also promised to "unity." The result is the opposite! That was predictable. Why would anyone think that an act of hate could "unite this country??" Hate only gets one more hate! Hate is the shoe! How does it fit?
"You are not to hate your brother in your heart. Instead, you are to firmly rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
You are not to take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am Adonai."
Leviticus 19:17-18
The great irony I see is that there was one other President that the Left hated as much or more than Donald J Trump. Guess who!
HE HYPOCRISY IS GREATER THAN THE TRUTH.
