Fast forward to 2021----he's now in his dotage-----Biden’s still a demagogue, but a mincing demagogue.
A demagogue is popularly described as a conniving politician who exploits the crass biases of his voting base to keep them in his camp.
=================================================
Biden stays awake nights, dreaming up one trillion dollar giveaway after another to generate public approval----
and, by God, it's working.......... Biden supposedly has (cough) high approval ratings.
Favored Democrat voters---the identity types----are cashing in bigtime.
Too bad Biden is too stupid to govern by admirable displays of public service, or by initiating good public policy.
He engages in diversion, distraction, by satisfying the immediate crass requirements of a chosen few.
The Roman poet, Juvenal, originated the phrase, "bread and circuses" to decry the "self-absorption" of such
politicians and their followers, and their neglect of wider concerns, failing to see civic duty to their country as a priority.
Biden’s ‘green deal’ will cost the same as if EVERY American family was given a one time payment of $600,000.

I hear that Xiden and his Administration is reviving the slogans, “A chicken in very pot” and “Money grows on trees”.
And though Xiden is opposed to hunting with guns, he likes the idea of killing geese that lay golden eggs.
BTW, we used to go shopping at the Bread and Circus health food store in Wellesley, Mass. The chain was eventually sold to the Whole Foods grocery store, and is now part of the Amazon empire.
An interesting fate for this company. A casualty to Covid19 is the largest health food store in Athens, GA went out of business last year.
So who is picking up the business? Mostly Amazon and Walmart.
Hope you’re doing well in these crazy times, Liz.
