    It’s still wild as hell when I have a conversation with some reactionary centrist and just casually drop that in there that he’s the worst president in history and I get this WellWhatAboutBidenOrKamala?! shit.

    It’s just mind-bogglingly stupid.

    Sure, Biden is not perfect. Liberals have an entire litany of items they could go over. And he’s also, {clutches pearls, gasps, gets the vapors, staggers to the fainting couch} old, ZOMG. And apparently now that’s inherently bad as we employ the Fallacy of the Young, I guess?

    But I would have been just fine with his staff Weekend’ing At Bernie’s that guy over the option of this PEDOnald crime wave of a “presidency”. Easily. Without question.

    These people that start up with the “yeah, but I had to live under Obama, and I had to live under Biden, and you can suffer this, too” shit are just so very fucking stupid. I have no idea what cross they think they had to bear under either of those Presidents? They never seem able to articulate anything remotely cogent.

      That’s because Fox News has been hooked up to their emotional reward center for three decades, and their Pavlovian emotional response is the entirety of their political belief system.
