Biden’s gaffe is the left’s truth
Everybody knows who Donald Trump is. Even his supporters know who he is. We got to let him know who we are. We choose unity over division. We choose science over fiction. We choose truth over facts.
Everybody keeps referring to that last sentence of the paragraph as a “gaffe,” and so I called it that in the title of this post. And I suppose it’s possible that it’s some sort of slip or error by Biden. But let me take the whole paragraph, one sentence at a time.
!. Everybody knows who Donald Trump is.
Oh, really? People see what they want to see and read what they want to read, and there are many echo chambers. How many people really look at the objective truth, or read all sides? I suspect that Biden (or his speechwriters) believe that his listeners—or at least, the audience he’s addressing, Democratic primary votes—think they know exactly who Trump is: racist, liar, white supremacist, Russian tool, president by deception, rapist, criminal. These things often can and have been easily proven to rest on invalid assumptions. But Biden’s audience believes they are truth.
2. Even his supporters know who he is.
And they disagree with Biden and Democrats about who Trump is. But that sentence of Biden’s—which granted, is a bit inscrutable—seems to me to be implying that even Trump’s supporters know that Trump is all those things I just listed, and they don’t care or they applaud it, because they are bigots and liars, too.
3. We got to let him know who we are.
I guess Democrats have been hiding on a desert island for the past twenty years, with radio silence imposed. I guess it’s just now that they need and are able to show us who they are, because we haven’t been able to observe who they are till now.
4. We choose unity over division.
That would be humorous if it didn’t reflect another “truth” that Democrats seem to believe about themselves, or at least like to present as the truth about themselves. But it is positively Orwellian. Division is their middle name, their modus operandi, their main tactic.
5. We choose science over fiction.
Democrats love to present themselves as the science lovers. But if any finding of science contradicts the preferred leftist narrative, it is considered heresy. See what happened to Larry Summers way back when he dared to mention the idea that the fact that women are underrepresented at the very highest levels of science should be studied. The left chooses fiction quite often, plus silencing and hounding out the person who wants discussion and further research on the science they find so offensive. There are myriad examples of this behavior. See this piece for much much more on the subject.
6. We choose truth over facts.
In light of what I’ve already written here, that sentence follows as the day follows night. The left does choose “truth over facts.” After all, isn’t that what “a higher truth” is about? Fake but accurate.
Gaffe or not? You be the judge.
ADDENDUM: Oh, boy.
Not a good sign:
NEW: Joe Biden said he was vice president when the deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, took place. Except, it happened in 2018, two years after he left office -- the latest gaffe by the Democratic presidential front-runner.bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
