The Ideology Behind Biden’s Disastrous First 9 Months
The Daily Signal ^ | October 22, 2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 10/23/2021 3:55:01 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Sheer chaos and anarchy on the border? Afghanistan—the most humiliating defeat in recent U.S. military history? A labor-starved supply chain in shambles and holiday shelves emptying out? The worst inflation in 30 years that seems soon ready to match Carter-era levels? Gas hitting $5 a gallon with winter heating fuels soaring? Free-for-all looting in the major cities without consequences? Joe Biden’s policies and Biden himself diving in the polls?

Never in recent American history has any administration birthed such disasters in its first nine months.

Yet most Americans are arguing not over the sheer chaos and disasters of the Biden administration, but rather how could such sheer pre-civilizational calamity occur in modern America? Were these disasters a result of historic incompetency? Or mean-spirited nihilism? Or a deliberate effort to create the necessary turbulence to birth a new American revolution? Or a bit of all three?

Start instead with the idea that what most Americans see as sheer ruin is not what the left-wing puppeteers (who are pulling the strings of the Biden marionette) see. Our catastrophes are their minor glitches. For them bad polling is mostly a public relations problem of an occasional uncooperative media. Otherwise, a few broken eggs are always necessary to create the perfect socialist omelet.

The Left now controlling Washington believes that the U.S. border is a mere construct. Every impoverished person has a birthright to cross into America illegally. The 2 million who are scheduled to enter this fiscal year alone is a wonderful, if occasionally sloppy, event.

Marxism has no place in the U.S. It must be eradicated.

VDH usually is blah, blah, blah, meaning he states the obvious but in this piece he knocks it out of the park...

Interesting that Hanson apparently doesn't view the Biden administration's COVID pandemic policies, including vaccines mandates, as part and parcel of this Marxist push.

Quit thinking about this as politics or ideology.

It’s The Biden Crime Family.

They are part of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

“This is Obama’s third term”.

It certainly is.

I don’t think its some grand plan on their part. They really are that ideologically driven and that idiotic/incompetent as not to be able to see their policies will lead to immediate disaster.

My hope is that the Democrats split into two very distinct factions - Democrat Socialist and Democrat Liberal Stupid.

The infighting will stop anything from passing leaving Sleepy Joe Brandon to make useless speeches to excite the base that is fighting daily over Wokeness.

They are merely trying to explain to us dummies that what we think is purgatory is actually the new paradise—a promised land that, once we are properly programmed and educated, we too will welcome and thank them for our deliverance.

I hear banjos.

They WANT immediate disaster to help foster the color revolution. It is part of the long standing plan to turn America Communist.

The Ideology Behind Biden’s Disastrous First 9 Months is never actually named in the article ; we are only given circumstances and assumptions.

This planned chaos is leading somewhere...and, it will end very badly...

When hard working Americans finally realize that elections are all pre-determined and fixed (that the people cannot vote for change), it will lead to the REAL chaos...

God help us...
