Is This What You Voted For?
Townhall.com ^ | April 8, 2021 | Laura Hollis

Posted on 04/08/2021 4:23:10 AM PDT by Kaslin

I’ve noticed that the Joe Biden voters I know personally -- as well as those I have followed on social media for some time -- have grown remarkably quiet since Biden entered the White House. I’m not talking about professionally clueless Hollywood celebrities, Democratic Party operatives or the media (same thing), who lie daily as they provide demonstrably specious rah-rahs for the senile old man who dodders around the White House, signs executive orders whose content he doesn’t know, looks around bemusedly on speaking daises and stumbles up the Air Force One stairs.

I’m talking about regular Americans who voted for the man.

I see hundreds of articles on Facebook and Twitter that point out what’s going on, and I keep waiting for the full-throated endorsements of the actions taken by this administration since Jan. 20, as well as the consequences therefrom. But those who used to chime in and denounce former President Donald Trump and predict all the wonderful things Biden was going to do say nothing or say very little beyond “Well, at least he isn’t Trump.”

Hey, Biden voters, where are your cheers for the direction of the country under the current president? The one we’re told 81 million of you voted for?

I find the inability to generate widespread public support of the present policies -- purportedly of the Biden administration -- telling. (For the record, I don’t think Biden is running the show. We can all speculate about who the powers behind the scene really are.) It’s as if the primary (or only) motivation behind support for Biden last year was a knee-jerk “anybody but Trump” reaction. But with Donald Trump no longer present as a lightning rod for media ire and the dutiful hysteria of the schools of fish that follow along, the enthusiasm for Biden (such as it was) has waned in the face of reality.

And what an unpleasant reality it is.

Biden has a history of untruthfulness that continues. He lies about the Trump administration’s role in getting hundreds of millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses produced. He lies about U.S. COVID deaths, about the tax bill Trump passed as president and about the new Georgia election-integrity legislation. (The Washington Post gave Biden’s statement four Pinocchios.)

Washington, D.C., remains a militarized zone, with areas still cordoned off by high fencing, razor wire and checkpoints with armed guards. The capitol of the “freest nation in the world” looks like Burma or East Berlin.

The Biden administration’s decision to shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline has cost jobs and billions in investments, poses environmental hazards (transportation must now move to rail or truck) and threatens the energy independence America had established under the Trump administration for the first time in more than six decades.

Is this what you voted for? 

Immigration is a disaster. The Washington Post reported last week that 171,000 migrants were captured just last month -- the highest number in 15 years. At that rate, close to 2 million people could pour into this country illegally this year. Children are being trafficked into the country at record numbers. Migrants are packed in at 10 times the capacity of the facilities, wrapped in what appears to be foil, like you would wrap baked potatoes. They arrive wearing T-shirts with Biden’s name on them, and many say they are coming because Biden “invited” them. Border agents report horrific conditions: that the cells smell of urine, feces and vomit, and that the migrants have lice, scabies and infectious diseases. Migrants infected with COVID -- and there are many -- are being released into the country, even as U.S. citizens’ movement is still restricted by pandemic regulations.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration lies about the reality at the border and tries to prevent the press, lawyers and members of Congress from seeing the truth.

Is this what you voted for?

Where are millions of uneducated and illiterate people going to work? What about Americans who are still out of work? The current unemployment rate is 6.2 percent -- less than half the rate of the mid-COVID highs last spring but still double what it was before the pandemic lockdowns. More than 100,000 small businesses closed for good. Millions more have reduced operations. Thirty percent of surveyed U.S. small businesses are saying they do not think they will survive 2021. When we look at minority-owned businesses, that number jumps to 80 percent. Are American citizens who are trying to keep their businesses afloat and trying to get back to work expected to compete for jobs with illegal immigrants or pay for welfare?

Do these sound like policies that benefit Americans? Is this what you voted for?

The porous border is also a temptation for terrorists. Border agents have reported that men on the U.S. “no-fly” list from Turkey, Iran and Yemen have been caught this year crossing the border from Mexico into California.

Is this what you voted for? Policies that leave America and Americans open to attack?

And speaking of terrorists, let’s look at Biden’s foreign policies so far. He is determined to reenter Obama’s disastrous Iran deal that will give that country -- a sponsor of international terror -- the ability to build nuclear bombs. He refuses to condemn China for its imprisonment, torture and genocide of Uighur Muslims, calling those practices a mere matter of different “cultural norms.” Nor will he stand up to China for its deceit about the COVID-19 virus. 

Is this what you voted for? Weakness and capitulation?

Lies. Deceit. Policies that encourage the trafficking of foreign children; hurt the American economy, American businesses and American workers; and threaten the safety of the American public.  

Weren’t we told that a vote for Biden was a vote to restore “decency” to the White House? Is this decency?

No wonder the silence is deafening.

Biden doesn’t want to even talk about Boycotting the Olympics witith China even with all their Human rights abuses,and all their other crimes,so we will not only send our athletes to compete but will watch as OUR athletes Kneel at the playing of our National anthem and watch as China highlights that for the world to see!
That’s what so call pathetic Americans voted for

Yeah? So? What are you gonna do about it? The ballot box is gone. The DC is nothing more than Kabuki theater and the two party system is a scam to fool the rubes.

Hardly anyone voted FOR Biden.

Most were voting AGAINST Donald Trump.

No matter what they may have thought at the time, many of these “anti-Trumpers” really, in their hearts, miss him today. At least he ws a reliable boogieman, whereas NOBODY knows where the Harris/Biden regime stands on any issue from day to day.

I miss Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office. Hell, I even miss Kayleigh McEnany, who could turn to some “journalist” who would not let a question go, and burn him (or her) with a withering response, then go to the next question, for which she NEVER had to “circle back” upon.

Jen Psaki, now, “Orange gurl bad. And kinda stupid”.

No wonder the silence is deafening.

I had a discussion this past weekend with a friend about the mindset of a democrat. One of the points he made was that democrats are not interested in facts and truth. He believes the typical democrat receives as truth whatever supports his position and has no interest in objective truth.

One of my liberal relatives seemed to prove his point. I gave my relative an article pointing out Biden and democrat outright lies regarding Georgia's voting law. The same article also cited Biden receiving 4 Pinocchio's for his outright lies about Georgia's voter law. Silly me: I thought the article might open my relative's eyes.

What was my relative's response to the objective information that I provided? "That information is Republican and Trump BS !!"

Bottom line: Most democrats, not just celebritied, elites and media - are not interested in objective truth. They choose to believe a lie!!

This article is worthless, and yet another example of how clueless our side is.

Nothing has changed. Biden supporters did not support him before the election was stolen. They hated Trump, period.

Witless articles like this convey the false impression that actual electoral politics is happening.

And another thing. This article is actually an attempt to support the fantasy written by fellow author John Green, who also pretended to know Biden supporters who were embarrassed.

Whatever their motives, these fantasies about Biden “supporters” getting quiet or embarrassed are bombast, at best. Biden never had supporters, and he does not have supporters still.

The point of these pretenses are known only to the authors, but they would be better off sticking with the truth.

I voted for Trump. Along with the fast majority. The election was rigged. The presidency was stolen.
In the REAL world Trump won the electoral and the popular.

I don’t recognize the third world regime.

I have never hear that song, but I did a search and here are the lyrics

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down I think you only live to see the lights of town I wasted my time when I would try, try, try When the lights have lost their glow you're gonna cry, cry, cry I lie awake at night to wait till you come in You stay a little while and then you're gone again Every question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie For every lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own You're gonna cry, cry, cry

Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone You wake up some cold day and find you're alone You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry

When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you And you'll come back for me for a little love that's true I'll tell you no and you're gonna ask me why, why, why When I remind you of all of this and you'll cry, cry, cry

You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then It'll hurt when you think of all the fool you've been You're gonna cry, cry, cry

I also voted for Donald Trump. In 2016, and on November 3rd 2020. I have never voted for a demonRat and will never vote for one.

Perhaps those that voted for the imbecile are waking up to their utter stupidity, but the bulk of Biden's votes came from non-existent entities created through hacks and vote fraud.

That’s my feelings as well. I don’t believe we will ever have an honest election again. When machines can easily be hacked, tallies changed, people running fake ballots thru the machines, blatantly and in our faces, and our supposed elected leaders and judges going along with it; we are done.
Hole up, pray, and hang on. It’s gonna get rough.
