There were multiple reasons why Joe Biden got elected in 2020, but a key one was that he was put in his basement like a potted plant, given limited exposure to cameras, and was basically hidden from the public.

Remember, in the Democrat primary debates that happened before COVID was in full swing, Biden wasn’t exactly setting the race on fire. It took Jim Clyburn bailing him out in South Carolina, and the rest of the Democrat establishment falling into line when it became obvious that the only other Democrat able to get the nomination was Bernie Sanders. Once COVID was a factor, the Biden campaign shifted into pre-recorded, carefully curated interview opportunities. Big rallies were not happening, which meant that Grandpa Joe’s opportunities for gaffes were conveniently limited. Remember that “lying dog faced pony soldier” comment? That happened in early February 2020, before lockdowns. Now, keeping Joe in the basement didn’t stop the gaffes completely (for example, the “you ain’t black” comment), but it definitely limited the exposure that could lead to more gaffes. And then when the debates happened, Biden was getting all the benefits from a friendly media, the Deep State covering up Hunter’s laptop, and lots of preparation (and probably medication).

This time around, Biden is the incumbent. The campaign and the Democrat establishment has now watched him for over three years as he has stumbled and wandered his way through the White House. Absolutely no one believes that Joe Biden is just as “vigorous” or more mentally sharp than he was back in 2020. We have been forced to watch a long, drawn-out play of elder abuse on a national stage. And thanks to the craven ambitions of those around him, or the desperate need to keep that deadbeat crack-addled jackass of a son out of the slammer, Joe Biden is being trotted out to run for president yet again.
