Biden's Presidency: Stormy Weather Ahead


Thanks to Trump's "Katrina" handling of the pandemic and race riots, Joe Biden could likely become the next US President.  

Aged, uninspiring, and lacking a strong base of his own, Biden would have a hard time controlling the nihilistic Far Left that menaces with taking over cities and establish their own "Occupy..." communes around major cities to force their agenda.



The problem with this perspective is not so much the badness of the agenda -a smorgasbord of failed, half-baked 1970s ideas- but their lack of direction in a moment of extreme economic and social turmoil. Think of a 1- or 2-year Katrina on steroids, with over 250.000 deaths and economic paralysis at 15% unemployment.

The party of no ideas (Democrats) could take over a bizarre one-term presidency of the party of (very) bad ideas.

A Biden presidency could usher a "malaise", Jimmy Carter-like era of higher taxes, unemployment, recession, and social turmoil.

Hope is not a strategy. Fear neither.



Will the economic vote trump (pun intended) the Katrina-like handling of the pandemic and social turmoil?  Swing states are up for grabs between two (very) bad options.
