The entry of a Kennedy into the 2024 race is a nightmare for Biden Democrats, not only because Joe could see the same fate as Dubya’s dad, but because of RFK’s ability to hold up a mirror to the Democrats.
For years now, the left has been waging a propaganda game that hasn’t really been called out the way it might have been. Activists pull their policies hard to the left, the party follows their lead, then they look at the chasm between the parties and blame the GOP — whose positions haven’t really changed much == as having suddenly become ‘extreme’ in their views.
They’ve pulled the wheel so far to the left that former center-left liberals have looked around and decided they have more in common with conservatives than they do with the partisans on the left.
Elon, for example, found a meme that expressed his own experience. Remember, before he bought Twitter, he was a Hillary/Biden voter. Now he’s appalled at the totalitarian bent of the activist class. His own party abandoned what he stood for, and he’s since been demonized as a ‘traitor’ by the party that walked away from him.
Here’s the meme he shared.
In contrast to Biden’s endless growling about the dire threat of MAGA this and Trump that, Trump and RFK have both taken a very different postion… one of optimism.
While there isn’t much in terms of policy prescriptions that RFK and many of the right would actually agree on, they have something in common that Joe Biden doesn’t.
Trump and RFK don’t just profess their Love for America — they actually LIKE it, too. Not just America in the abstract, but America as a people.
Trump recently posted a message which deliberately appealed to (among others) disaffected Dems. He spoke optimistically of America, despite taking a step back under Biden, would come roaring back under competent leadership.
RFK did a similar message, invoking nostalgia by pairing the prosperity, optimism, and overall health of children and education the 1950s with the cultural steps forward taken in areas like civil rights and setting that against the modern era of obese children who are being failed by public schools, shuttered factories, and an overall decline both at home and abroad.
Both Trump and RFK invoke the great history of the nation, rooted in the courage and indomitable spirit of the American people… which is part of our own legacy.
They both believe in America, because they both believ in American exceptionalism.
That’s a far cry from the clenched-fist, racially-divisive, yelling, class-warfare, big-goverment-small-citizen vision of America that is bad and likely to get worse unless Joe Biden comes riding to their rescue.
He can’t un-make America fast enough. He openly cheered about flooding it with other people from around the world with different complexion and (more what is far more devastating in the long run) different values.
When you offer hand-outs to a few million strangers, you’re not attracting the same courageous, pioneering people that responded to the offer of 160 acres to anyone willing to build a house and work the land under them. You’re inviting people who see a government to be exploited for freebies.
It’s not as if Biden or his party were exactly hiding the ball on that count, either:
The Obama/Biden giveaway is simple. You don’t set out to ‘fundamentally transform’ something you actually LIKE. And Biden is trying hard to be the most ‘transformative’ president in about 100 years.
But have you SEEN the people whose plans he wants to put into effect? Yikes!
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
