Today I was having a pleasant chat with a casual friend, when he suddenly said, "My wife hates Biden." When I asked him why, he said, "Because of the Haitians." My first thought was I bet she didn't hate Trump because of the children he imprisoned, My second thought was we're doomed. Why? Because Americans are increasingly the most hating, whiny, critical, dissatisfied people on earth. They will never have the patience or courage to save our democracy. Here they are bitching, (his wife and TVpundits) because Joe Biden, one of the nicest presidents ever, can't perform miracles. He can't take those exhausted Haitians and give every one them a home in America including health care, child care, and freedom from worry. (Which he, unlike Trump, would love to do.) Nor can he totally focus on them when there are myriad other aliens from other oppressive countries. Because of that alone (she claims) she hates Biden. It probably never occurred to her to list in her mind all the good things Biden has done, his accomplishments over the years, and how hard it is to run a country. She probably never compared Biden's goodness to the last president, a racist, molester, liar, lazy layabout, and brainless buffoon. Biden did not invite the hordes of freedom seekers to America. He didn't say, "Come on over. We'll treat you right." No. These poor, tired, huddled masses yearning to breathe free came on their own because they had heard that America was a kind-hearted democracy that would somehow find a way to make their lives better. And we are. But we have never been so deluged with refugees as now during a world-wide pandemic. And because Joe Biden can't solve this monumental problem and many others within a day or two, my friend's wife hates him. And that illogical hatred, multiplied millions of times, may just be our downfall.
