Biden projects a vision of strength that’s been missing from his presidency

While the US economy is absolutely booming under Biden, with 15 million new jobs created under his watch, 800,000 new manufacturing jobs, the Chips Act resulting in construction of the first new domestic chip plants in decades, and the infrastructure being repaired even in States and areas where Republicans are taking credit for the Bill they voted against….there is a bifurcation in US society. Not everyone is capable of benefiting.

 

People with marketable skills and talents, plus a willingness to work hard, are the major beneficiaries of the Biden Boom. Sadly, the poorly educated and unskilled, which is to say the people who are trump’s bread and butter, and whom he says he loves, are being left behind as the world and technology move ahead of their abilities. They are better suited to a 19th Century economy than a 21st Century one.

 

Perhaps some can be retrained and re-educated, but many cannot. Silk purses cannot be made of sow’s ears. The social commentator Jordan Petersen has presentations available on YouTube (one appeared on this Forum a while back), where he opines on places people fit in an economy based on their intellectual level, and there are folks who just can’t compete, if real skills and talents are required. These also would be the same people most virulent in their complaints about immigration and the border, because it is new migrants, documented or not, whose entry level jobs displace the domestic unskilled and poorly educated, which is to say trump supporters. Sure, some will be helped by the Infrastructure Bill, as much of that requires physical labor, but there isn't a place for all of them. AI is only going to make things worse and leave more of the lesser skilled angry.

 

Those with skills, talents and above average intellect---the kind of people who can compete and add value in the modern world---are enjoying under Biden the best times since the late 1990s under Clinton. For others, the world is obviating them. They are obsolete. They grasp on to Trumpian false promises and lies, however, because without false hopes they would have no hope at all.

 

What the US cannot do is let the laggards decide the future, because most other nations will move forward, not purposely slow down, so as to not leave the least talented behind.

Barring a physical or mental collapse or external event, Biden has got this.

 

The question is what does Putin have up his sleeve to help Trump? Perhaps a last ditch effort to take Kyiv?

 

Of course, the key phrase is "are you better off than you were four years ago?" Republicans dare not go there.

Americans barely remember last week.

Trump could win.

It's horrific to realize that, but the threat is real. 

Also the third parties thing could be very significant.

A question for you:

 

Is Trump cutting back on rallies because of lack of funds, or because of his Aphasia?

Being somewhat presumptuous there, are you not?

Plenty of time for Biden to do something barking, like starting another war, or invading Russia or something like that.

 

It'll only take American boys coming home in bags to change things significantly.

Biden is lost.  Taking comfort in what he knows best.

He's got some new shoes perhaps that will stop him collapsing upstairs ?
