Expected Biden Reaction to Republican Wins

The news, no matter where you watch, agree that the results in Virginia are somewhat surprising and the New Jersey gubernatorial close race making the day a political earthquake. The big question appears to be will President Biden alter his plans and pare down his Build Back Better legislation. Then there are the lists explaining the shift to the right including but not limited to, inflation, inability to pass the Biden plan, gas prices, supply problems, Trump and so on. Simply changing the network and the mood can change but in the end they all appear to be saying the same explanations. We can tell you; they are all also quite tedious.

President Biden

Our expectations are that President Biden, plus whomever are behind him, will press even harder to force his legacy legislation at any and all costs. The Administration will give up any remaining pretext of moderation and instead demand total party unity for the Biden legacy. Manchin and other Democrat holdouts will be guaranteed to not be reelected. Almost all of these maneuvers will be performed in back rooms by word of mouth leaving no record, ruling out an open microphone. The Democrat logic is that these handouts guarantee numerous voting blocks and many of the voters opposed will have forgotten by the 2022 elections. The arguments, discussions, explanations and bargaining are about to conclude, and pure political force will be the currency in the Democrat Party. The Democrat left holds the Administration and strongly affects the House of Representatives while the Senate Democrats may break into open combat. It matters not, but if absolutely necessary, the Democrats can count on at least two or three Republicans to vote with them in the dead of the night, or we could be totally wrong; so, we apologize if such an instance should be required.

Trump Election Challenge or Trump Circus

President Donald Trump has announced his intentions to make legal challenges of election results in a number of states in conjunction with more Trump rallies to stress the fact. Meanwhile, (presumed) President-elect Biden will proceed to form his COVID-19 Task Force, which we fear will be headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, as well as other transitional committees. All the while, the mainstream media demands that President Trump prepare to make a peaceful transfer of power to the Biden administration just like has been the standards of previous administrations. One can only presume they are not referring to the way his administration has been received and the ill will which was obvious by the complete lack of coordination from the Obama administration and then incoming Trump team. Has the world entered Bizarro World or is it just us? We simply have to wonder as things just become even further from any sane concept of reality. Perhaps Joseph Stalin was correct when he stated, “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”

We could go on about the coming challenges and be disingenuous but perhaps there are some other items we found interesting. We remember the media coverage after the 2016 election and the results giving Trump the White House. The mainstream media bemoaned Hillary losing and denigrated President Trump the first three and a half years of his term. After the near constant assailing of President Trump, his followers and any media or other popular people who admitted to supporting President Trump; now, the very same people who attacked President Trump near constantly during his time in office demand that Trump supporters just sit down, shut-up and accept their defeat with the same generosity and civility they had shown after Hillary lost. This demand is actually for Trump supporters to do what the Hillary supporters never did, accept losing the election. Trump supporters are being threatened with job loss, eviction from any leased property and even incarceration for reeducation forcing compliance with their new normal. Just for the record, there are two terms which are misleading and bring us to near boiling point, they are “New Normal,” and “Intersectionality.” Perhaps a quick look at these terms which not all are familiar would be a decent means to end this article. But first allow us to request that all parties in the United States, all our friends will simply remain calm and allow those directly affected to find resolutions and hopefully more truths and will finalize the election leading to a greater acceptance of President-elect Biden for as long as he lasts, then we can discuss a President Harris administration where we would suspect her first choice for a new Vice President would be Bernie Sanders.

New Normal is a term used by those on the left to define a society under their control where a single group of elites choose the governing bodies due to their self-proclaimed superiority over the unwashed masses. This is accomplished by using their near monopolistic control over the media and social media.

Intersectionality is a leftist concept by which any people supporting any one of the approved causes will work with all those supporting the other approved causes in order to make the individual causes appear to be more generally supported and accepted. There does exist some less desirable consequences. The worst is if one supports any single cause not included under Intersectionality, they are blackballed and chased from the community of concerned and enlightened beings. Those included within the Intersectionality community are good people who think in a correct and approved manner. One example which all might understand is should one support Israel, the Jewish state, they are basically excommunicated from acceptable society. We found a solution to all the antipathy the Intersectionality community heaps upon Israel, we moved to Israel where such positions are a small minority and nowhere near as vocal and we are no longer amongst those left outside in the weather.

Republican Leadership Facing Vital Decisions

Trump and his team will fight on while, with time, the lack of Republican support will at some point abandon Trump’s efforts. Go along to get along will return as the Republican mantra. President Trump will fight on for a while as fewer and fewer supporters continue on. President Trump’s supporters will likely continue on with a percentage demanding that he, “never give up, never surrender.” In the end nothing effective is done due to delay of time allowing the ballots to be destroyed as Republicans wring their hands debating their first move.

Now on to the reality we face. The President elect is Joseph Biden with Kamala Harris as his number two. Our main trepidation concerning the new administration revolves around how long before President Biden steps down or is removed from office by any means, normal or atypical, and we inaugurate Kamala Harris as the first black, female President. Currently, we stand with the House of Representatives remaining in Democrat control, though by a slighter margin, and the Senate will remain undecided until the run-off elections are held the first week of January. The Senate races are vitally important as it could provide President Biden and those guiding his administration with both houses of Congress or the Republicans might barely hold on to the Senate forming a block to the most radical ideas of the far left. There exists a third way where, in order to go along to get along, sufficient Republicans in the Senate support all of the Democrat bills and programs in the hope of receiving favors in the future. The Republicans have been hoping for a future which thus far has never materialized.

Reality is that President Trump will almost certainly be leaving office as President Biden will be sworn in late in January. Trump will leave willingly and graciously providing President elect Biden with everything he requests or might need to know. President Trump should also make sure to inform Kamala Harris and their teams all the information given to the President elect. Oh, also, the 2024 race started November 4, 2020, so both parties better get moving and the media sharpening their pencils in order to back their chosen side. Will we see a Trump-Biden or a Harris-Trump race; we cannot know form sure. Were we to pick it would be a Harris-Trump Jr race.

There will be one last and important struggle coming form the heart and soul of the Republican Party between the Trump loyalists and the Republican Party elites who had lost their control. Watch for the Bush-Romney centrists to quietly push for Nikki Haley or similar political insider to the fore to, at the very least, put lipstick on their political piggish list of necessary growth of big government. All stops will be pulled out by the Old Guard of the Republican Party in order to bury Trump as if he were merely a bad dream. Should they succeed, the Republicans will not see the White House for decades or until the Old Guard is replaced. What would be interesting would be if Donald Trump ran as a third party, the Libertarian, Constitution or a new party leading eventually to a realignment of the political field. Whatever the future holds, we hope it will remain interesting and may the fur fly.
