As we head into the very first presidential debate in the 2024 election cycle, President Joe Biden is looking to focus the messaging of his campaign on painting former President Donald Trump as a menace to democracy, a threat to the freedom and liberty we take for granted as a way of life in this country. Hilariously, it’s actually Biden and his leftist ideology that threatens to unravel the fabric of our nation.
Biden also used this narrative against Republicans during the midterm elections in 2022, putting out a number of warnings in the week leading up to voting that tried to make the case that “democracy is at risk.”
“We’re often not faced with questions of whether the vote we cast will preserve democracy,” the president went on to say at the time. “But this year we are.”
However, according to a new report from Business Insider:
Democrats ended up retaining control of the Senate and losing their House majority by a much narrower margin than predicted, with many in the party arguing that Biden’s messaging had been a success.
But ahead of the November election, voters in six key swing states gave Trump an advantage on who would be better suited at handling threats to democracy, a reflection of the continued challenges that Biden faces as he seeks a second term in office.
In a survey conducted by The Washington Post and the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University among registered voters from mid-April to late May, Trump led Biden 44 percent to 33 percent on the democracy issue. Sixteen percent of respondents indicated that neither candidate had an advantage on defending democracy, and seven percent said that both men were equally able to handle the issue.
The group known as “deciders,” which is comprised of voters that have only voted in one of the last two presidential elections, are between the ages of 18 to 25, have been registered to vote since 2022, or aren’t currently planning to support Biden or Trump this year, the former president has a 9 point lead over Biden when it comes to issues concerning democracy. Almost a quarter of that same group stated that neither of the candidates was really all that and a bag of chips when it comes to handling the issues, while a total of 10 percent indicated that either one of them would do a good job with it.
The findings come at a critical stage for the Biden campaign, shortly before a Thursday debate that has the potential to reshape what has been a tight presidential contest between the incumbent and the ex-president.
Biden came into office pledging to be an effective steward of the federal government just days after the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 — where pro-Trump supporters attempted to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
But Republicans have remained overwhelmingly behind Trump since then, with many GOP lawmakers downplaying the January 6 riot and arguing that the ex-president would be a better leader on the world stage.
All of this to say, essentially, the American people are pretty well aware that the president is a mess and is too old, out of touch, and just plain sucks when it comes to preserving freedom and liberty. Which is absolutely true. He’s horrible. It’s time for a change.
Preferably someone who doesn’t have a worldview that lends itself to the destruction of liberty.
Oh, and lastly, we are not a democracy. We’re a republic. Pretty critical difference between the two.
