I agree. Just didn’t wanna start a “war” and for the fact of biden’s presumed loss of faculties, that is exclusively what a VP is for… to occupy the position of the acting pres cannot. Also his cabinet, press people, etc. just wish we could have someone a little younger… that doesn’t “residually” see the world and its workings from 50 yrs ago. Yes, the values and ideals were better back then but the world moves on. I live in ny and hate Hochul! She would suck the life and energy from the northern part of the state to further her agenda. Many friends have lost jobs due to prison closings… one is ex military who became a CO. Now he buys cars, fixes them and sells them. Cuz ther is no job in his field around here now. Would have to relocate down south or wwwaaayyy up north.
In this instance, I’m grateful to have a President whose values are rooted in the time of Eisenhower, our last honest Republican to hold the oval office. The other one’s values are rooted in the time of Capone or perhaps Gambino.
As for the world moving on, I see more bad than good in that. Kids these days (anyone born after Watergate) seem to be really hurtin’ for critical thinking skills and good information hygiene.
For that I blame the culture war whose foundation was laid and described by the Powell memo, of which a major objective was to stop the school system from teaching those skills.
Therein lies the demonization of “wokeness” i. e. having and using the tools of knowledge and analytical process to notice when policy makers are shoveling bs.
So a younger player would need to possess historical and economic literacy. (Add an ability to use the word “moral” without it meaning “toxic evangelical.”)
Trouble is, the majority of today’s younger voters have not formed the habit of valuing those virtues.
Look at how defenseless most are against subversive ideas whose origin usually is Moscow, Beijing or Tehran — and now Riyadh.
How many young or GOP-inclined voters do you imagine will correctly recognize the collusion to spike gas prices as a selective assault on Democrat candidates? When you hear that “gas was cheaper under (a Republican)” you’re witnessing exactly the response the enemies of our republic are promoting.
