Was Debate a Setup or Genuine Democratic Failure?
Could they Really Set Up Such an Embarrassment to Themselves?
I had read a lot of theories here on Substack that Biden performance on the debate was a regime setup. That is, the regime realized that Biden being a vegetable he is couldn’t perform even puppet function any longer, and that they badly need to replace him. Hence, they fertilized the soil for it by finally lifting the immense blindfold from the eyes of their brainless voters, and showing Biden to everyone in his full vegetable glory.
I won’t deny, it might be. But I have a question though - if Demon Rats and their billionaire masters simply wanted to replace Biden, why didn’t they just tell him to step down and leave the stage quietly, without such an embarrassment, citing old age and poor health as a reason? As a puppet Biden would have obeyed anything they told him anyway. That would have been pretty plausible reason too, and might have saved Biden face.
Then why exactly did Demon Rats have to lose their face so badly? Why did they stage such a great embarrassment for themselves? Their voters, however brainwashed vegetables they are themselves, would still be turned away by that open display of Biden late stage dementia. Then WHY did Demon Rats damage their own reputation so badly when they could have easily avoided it by telling Biden to step aside quietly? Something doesn’t fit in the setup narrative.
Or, if it was a setup indeed, then its goals aren’t as simple as to replace Biden. Which goals are those then? I don’t know. Maybe they just want us all to fully immerse in the Absurdity Theater they turned our political life into, and that was a first deep dive into this ocean of madness.
Or maybe, just maybe, they’re well aware that many Americans are pissed with Demon Rats, and are setting stage for Trump victory, so their brainwashed public would finally accept him as a lesser evil compared to this dementia vegetable? But then it doesn’t bode well for us because it would mean Trump is also their puppet, albeit not as obvious.
Or maybe there’s something else, I don’t know, but I don’t believe that this setup was merely to replace Biden because as I said this goal might have been achieved much less dramatically. Or maybe it wasn’t a setup but their genuine failure - that is, they told us SO OFTEN how ‘acute and competent’ Biden is that they started to believe their own lies eventually, and it backfired at them. But could we be really so lucky? Not sure. But the whole thing was surely surreal.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this. There are a few possibilities:
1) we can’t see as many steps ahead as they have already planned, and at this point it’s difficult to imagine why they would purposefully do this and they know we would be stumped. However this would require some really savvy, masterful strategists behind it all;
2) the people around him and in charge truly are just as immature and narcissistic as we all believe they are, and when you lack maturity and humble spirits, you lack the ability to know when to back off, when to be honest, and when to make the tougher but wiser choices, sometimes meaning laying down your fight for the sake of the humanity involved. They really are a bunch of bullies and mean girls that never graduated socially from the middle school playground; or
3) most of those calling the shots really didn’t know how bad it was themselves, choosing to get their “facts” from their MSM friends and underlings, and a twisted, sick First Lady. Maybe anything they saw firsthand was explained away. Maybe they saw him on his more coherent days. Maybe he’s been shielded so much that no one critical saw firsthand, due to the childish, self-absorbed crowd around him. But Obama saw firsthand and had to lead h off a stage! So this one is unlikely.
4) Maybe in Joe’s more coherent, capable moments he stubbornly convinced everyone he was OK and refused to back down. How can they remove a sitting president if he refuses to go and there’s a chance for a coherent moment to make them look like liars? Maybe his decline was slow at first but rapid this year??
So I’m with you, if it’s number 1, we need to stretch our minds and see further into the future as to why on earth they would ever throw the leader of the free world under the bus so badly.
I had all the same thoughts. Regardless of why, the Dems showed their weakness. I would like to see the Republicans ride the insurrection narrative into November. The White House has run an insurrection by lying to the public even as recently as 2 days ago. There is no President. No one is accountable for the shit show going on there. Who has the nuclear football? Surely not the corpse standing at the podium. KJP, Kamala, Klain, Mayorkas, the entire cabinet would all be going to prison if they were Republicans. Everyone knows it. The Congressional Republicans will no doubt miss this opportunity because they are allergic to success. If Trump is going to be “disqualified” for being an insurrectionist, that same brush should paint everyone associated with the Biden WH.
