This would not be worth its own post if it was not for the fact that this is appearing in one of the primer publications of educated liberal elite. The fact that this is being allowed to appear the New Yorker magazine is something that Biden is not going to recover from….
Who was actually in charge? Nobody knew. But surely someone was in charge? And surely there must be a plan, since surely this situation could not endure? I heard these questions posed at cocktail parties on the coasts but also at MAGA rallies in Middle America. There emerged a comical overlap between the beliefs of the nation’s most elite liberal Biden supporters and the beliefs of the most rabid and conspiratorial supporters of former President Trump. Resistance or QAnon, they shared a grand theory of America in 2024: There has to be a secret group of high-level government leaders who control Biden and who will soon set into motion their plan to replace Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee. Nothing else made sense. They were in full agreement.
The entire article is sticking the knife into Biden and twisting while trying to be as kind about it as possible.
