A deplorable explains the animosity for Trump as he cleans up Biden’s messes

Many deplorables, being the competent people we are, have had the misfortune of being tasked with cleaning up a mess created by an incompetent coworker. The cleanup might involve unravelling the hairball of causation in an industrial accident investigation, or weighing the accusations and counteraccusations of a harassment allegation, or a million other potential crises du jour. But whatever the specific nature of the chaos, deplorables know that caution and patience are required.

Because as soon as they reveal their findings, the second-guessers rush in to carefully examine the efficacy and appropriateness of their methods and remedial actions. And suddenly the white-hot spotlight turns away from the incompetent whack job responsible for the mess and points directly toward the poor deplorable. And all too often, the deplorable gets sucked right into the very mess they were trying to fix, never to be heard from again.

This analogy is strikingly similar to what we’re witnessing today, with the messes of the Biden administration like offspring to rabbits—the number and scope of them will dazzle sane historians for millennia.

To name just three: Biden allowed ten million unvetted people into the country; spiked the national debt to a level that requires over a $1 trillion in interest payments per year; and allowed the Houthis to attack U.S. warships 174 times and disrupt a trade route through which 30% of global container trade moves.

Then, in walked the Trump administration, burdened, as all deplorables are, by their sanity in an increasingly insane age, and focused themselves upon fixing Biden’s messes. And the Democrat media (DEMedia), very aware of how to weaponize the second-guessing game (or armchair quarterbacking), turned the spotlight away from Biden and shined it double bright on Trump’s every remedial move.

And there was no real reporting by the MSM as Biden created this mess.

People don’t like digging deep to clean up messes. They would rather read about heroes who sacrificed themselves for the good of the country than being that hero.

Republicans should learn that every time they fix the Left’s relentless attacks and destruction that they vote us and destroy the nation another layer. It’s time to destroy the left. Trump is successfully doing just that.

It’s like an idiot crying about their car repair bill after ignoring that weird knocking noise for too long.
