If Biden and his handlers have taught us anything, human nature cannot be fooled, and the current four-year experiment will have to end before it ends us—and soon.
Do not expect the radical left to survey the wreckage of socialism and communism in history and accept that statism impoverishes people and erodes their freedoms. There will never be admissions by our elite that progressivism exists mainly for the acquisition of power by the utopian and virtue-signaling few, who ensure that they are never subject to the baleful implementation of their ideological agendas on the rest of us.
Still, leftists look around at what they have done to America in the last four years and implicitly know that the plan did not work, the people detested it, or both.
How do we know this? By a variety of barometers.
None of the major Biden “achievements”—10 million illegal aliens across a nonexistent border, key components of the cost of living 25-30 percent higher than in 2020, wars and chaos abroad, DEI racial and tribal obsessions, wars on fossil fuels—poll at even 40-45 percent. Biden’s own approval ratings, as the nominal architect of the most left-wing agenda since the Roosevelt administration, hover between 36 and 34 percent.
But most importantly, the left is not running on its record of the last three-and-a-half years but instead studiously ignoring it, at least temporarily through November. Suddenly, we aren’t hearing so much about cancelling pipelines and freezing federal oil leases, or so much demonization of the “greedy” oil companies. Instead, Biden is further draining the strategic petroleum reserve and begging OPEC in general and the no-longer-demonized Saudi Arabia in particular to pump oil as fast as possible.
We were lied to for nearly four years that the border was “secure,” as 10 million foreign nationals flooded...

“progressivism exists mainly for the acquisition of power”
That’s the left’s only point. All the policy pronouncements, utopian b.s. and societal division are just techniques for this ultimate goal.
So it is wrong to say that leftism doesn’t work. It works spectacularly. At attaining power over YOU!
BUT seems half our nation is easily fooled as half stick to Biden in spite of all this, denying the horror of the last 3 years.......
Such being a fact says our nation is doomed..
Polls ought to show Trump at 75% and Biden at 25%.........
there are ‘leftists’ that are largely stupid, naive or both who believe what they say. then there are ‘Leftists’, the evil ones, who know their policies are to cause enough trouble/clear the way to implement some sort of Totalitarianism
Few on the left praise the disastrous COVID lockdown, the canonization of Dr. Fauci, the mask and social-distancing craze, and the gospel that endless boosters were necessary to protect Americans. Even the left, although again quietly, assumes that the lockdowns did more damage than the virus, that Dr. Fauci repeatedly lied when he swore he did not subsidize gain-of-function viral research at the Chinese top-security virology lab at

In response to the headline, it must be said that what “works” is not their point. The Left is in rebellion against God, Nature, etc... They are not interested in a functioning society.
Sen John Kennedy got off the best line on Biden polling.
“Biden’s popularity polls are right up there with fungal infections.”
I agree. The left is like the intolerable teenager raging against their parents. A full-time temper tantrum and they don't care who they hurt or what they break..
Blacks, Latinos and women voters add up to 40% easily.
The Left knows it but will never openly admit it.
When evil individuals have no consequences for their actions, they will continue to do evil.

That’s so true. But it’s to the point where they will suffer the consequence. Their arrogance and pride has given them a false sense of security. Now they will suffer the consequences in one way or another.
The stupidity driven by the emotions and laziness in many humans is sufficient for left leadership to reap rich harvests at the polls. Until adequate misery exists to penetrate enough thick skulls to bring change, in one way or another ...
It’s going to be interesting to see what emerges from the ashes.
Good post.
When we are lied to for FOUR years about anything and nothing is done about it by the so-called 'leaders' who are supposed to be providing oversight or law enforcement then that little clause in the Declaration that outlines our (we the people) responsibility and duty should apply!
Lol. I saw that. Kennedy comes up with some very good ones.
That one was a corker.
Yep, a real corker. He knows how to deliver the punch lines.
