My dad took me to see Harry in Vinita, OK when he made his whistle stop tour, I was 10 years old and was close enough to spit on him. Doubt I could get that close to Biden today.

You have stated the blind, the cover, the hoax being perpetrated.
Political correctness is purely a method of capturing the language and thus the minds and thus the mindset of the citizenry.

That's where it began and that's where the cancel slurs started to be used by the left to shut down the right.
