Joe Biden’s legacy is one of failure, according to the left-wing The Atlantic magazine.
In a piece entitled “How Biden Destroyed His Legacy,” staff writer Franklin Foer argues that while Biden had some measurable achievements, he “failed spectacularly” on his signature issue of “preserving democracy.”
Foer writes:
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.’s obituary will be stalked by the counterfactual: What if he hadn’t made the selfish decision to run for reelection? What if he had passed the torch a year or even six months earlier? That makes for a grim parlor game.
The way that events unfolded—his catastrophic debate performance, the stark clarity with which the nation came to understand his geriatric state–-beggars belief. Why didn’t Democrats stage an intervention earlier? Why didn’t his aides stop him from running?
The absurd premise of the Biden reelection campaign, that it made sense for the nation to trust itself to a president who would finish his term at the age of 86, invites conspiratorial explanations.
The author goes on to complain that Democrats ignored the obvious signs that Biden was suffering from dementia, even though the entire mainstream media were also complicit in covering this up.
Here’s hoping that it won’t be pretty for those who tried to hoodwink us for four long years.
