The Scoldings of a Senile Old Man
At what point did our elected officials become our de facto parents? A keyboard tapping, drooling, idiot shill at Politico asked why Creepy Joe Biden doesn't spend more time scolding us deplorable unvaxxed, as though we haven't already heard this spiel one thousand and forty two times already. No means no guys, but of course you can't expect Washington elites to understand that, especially the sort who spent half their career sniffing little kids (and the other half being blatantly, publicly racist; at least Dictator Biden wears his vices on his sleeve).
Nominally, the Democrat party is against the idea of rich, privileged old white men telling everyone what to do, but in practice they sure are pushing it a lot. Then again, the Democrat party is nominally in favor of bodily autonomy and nominally against fascism and nominally against a lot of coercive control freak tactics that, in practice, they embrace as enthusiastically as their pals on the other side of the aisle. Turns out authoritarianism isn't the exclusive province of one particular political ideology. Who knew the people embracing the ideas and spirit of Mao and Stalin might have some hidden darkness and control issues?
My mom spent her life working in a nursing home, and I swear that every time I see Creepy Dictator Joe speaking from his fake little pretend White House set like the fake little pretend President he is, I am forcibly reminded of visiting her at her workplace as a child. The smell of urine, wheelchairs in the hallway, mystery meats on trays, and above all the rantings from the dementia hall echoing through the building. Ah, he brings it all back, although this is not really the most enjoyable form of nostalgia.
It's pretty sad, that we have this tired old man obviously suffering from cognitive decline and desperately in need of a nap as a figurehead. I'm pretty sure even die-hard Democrats don't really think he's running anything; they are just playing along in hopes that he'll finally cancel their student loans and get the socialist free money express running again. I get it; I like free stuff too. But the quarter from the weird old man's little change purse isn't enough to get me to take the shots they're offering, and all of his finger waving and delusions of dictatorial grandeur aren't enough to scare me into it either.
We aren't helpless little kids, you condescending perverts. No means no.
