Everyone is good for something — even Joe Biden. He was selected as the figurehead of the Democratic Party because he personifies the incompetence, corruption, ideological intransigence, and general rot that characterize it. In that role, he is driving home a lesson that the media will not be able to obscure. The central belief of liberals — that bureaucratic coercion is the solution to all problems — is false.

As Gerard Baker puts it, the Biden Regime…

…has provided a real-time, data-rich, high-intensity and ultimately devastating case study in the defining conceit of progressive politics: the idea that government is the solution.

Biden explicitly exhorted us to “Put trust and faith in our government.” That has not worked out.

Those liberal geniuses who told us they could manage the economy like a well-honed machine have managed to create the highest inflation in nearly 40 years, eroding real wages and imperiling economic stability. The brilliant ideologues who run our cities have presided over a surge in violent crime that has reduced life for many residents to a real-life dystopia. Those omniscient technocrats who know how to devise and implement a humane and functioning immigration policy have left us with a border in name only and chaos and lawlessness to accompany it. The strategic geniuses who told us “America is back” produced a debacle in Afghanistan whose full ramifications for U.S. security we haven’t even begun to see.

Then there is the Build Back Better monstrosity. Democrats attempted to inflict Venezuela-level inflation and economic dysfunction for the sake of their deranged ideology. Calamity was avoided only because a single Democrat Senator refused to be party to it.

In short, the party that constantly seeks control over our lives is now governing—or failing to govern—a nation that is spinning wildly out of control.

Presiding over this is the always conspicuously subpar Biden, who…

…is now a husk of a leader, a dangerously debilitated figure, who oscillates between displays of vacuous incoherence and weird, angry outbursts, like a confused old man at the wrong bus stop.

Awful as he is, Biden is only the tip of the Democrat iceberg of awfulness.

Meanwhile, a heartbeat and a spine-chilling cackle away from the presidency, is another living rebuke to the idea that government is virtuous and wise. Vice President Kamala Harris has demonstrated, evidently to the alarm of much of her own staff, that she is simply another of Mr. Biden’s many mistakes—perhaps the biggest one yet. It is a dismaying state of affairs that we must all pray nightly for the continued health of an inept president to avert the calamity of a worse one.

Only the most committed leftist ideologues will vote for more of this. Less than a year into this fiasco, Democrat pollster Doug Schoen finds the following:

• 53% of likely voters believe President Joe Biden “hasn’t paid enough attention to the country’s most important problems,” compared to 38% who believe Biden’s priorities are correct;

• 66% of likely voters agree that “Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress are out of touch with hardworking Americans” because “they have been so focused on passing their own agenda,” compared 30% who believe Biden and Democrats are not out of touch;

• 65% of likely voters agree that Biden has not improved the U.S. like he promised, compared to 31% who disagree;

• 52% of likely voters believe the economy has worsened because of Biden, compared to 36% who believe it is stronger under Biden;

• 71% of likely voters believe Biden’s policies are fully or partly to blame for inflation, compared to 24% who say Biden is not responsible for inflation;

• 69% to 23% of likely voters affirm that “Biden and Democrats are soft on crime”;

• 67% to 18% of likely voters believe the country is more divided, not more unified, compared to one year ago.

No wonder Democrats are pivoting to election fraud.

The collapse of public approval comes despite Biden enjoying the devoted support of the liberal establishment, including Big Media and Big Tech, which are largely responsible for putting him in power and were able to do this because they hold inordinate influence over public opinion.

Fortunately, influence is not total control. After another year of Biden and his handlers, virtually everyone capable of independent thought will be eager to flush Democrats out of power.

With luck, liberal ideology will get flushed away too. Then we can go back to living like Americans, putting our trust in God and in ourselves, rather than in authoritarian oligarchical collectivists.

On a tip from Varla.
