Think about Joe Biden's state of mind right now. He spent his entire adult life trying to become President and now his own party is begging him not to run for re-election.
Biden first started talking about his goals of becoming President in the 70's. He spoke of how it was his destiny. He started calling Reagan a racist in the mid 80's. He perfected one speech, a speech of division. In preparation for his 1988 campaign, Biden memorized speeches given by a politician from England, banking on the fact that nobody would realize those words were not his. He lied about his academic record, he even plagiarized MLK Jr. and RFK. He was found out and forced to drop out.
After the 1988 race Biden staked his entire career on law and order. From the moment he dropped out of the 1988 race Biden began preaching "more cops, more prisons." Every speech he gave on the Senate floor in the following years was about locking people up and being tougher on crime. He proudly claimed that he had added 50 new death penalties and 100 new minimum sentences for drug offenses. He bragged that every single drug or crime bill from the 80s and 90s had his name on it.
He began his campaign for the 2008 race for the Presidency by having to apologize for racist remarks he had made about Obama. During this campaign he bragged about his crime bill, opposed government healthcare, argued for the need to build a wall, and stated multiple times that illegal immigrants were destroying American cities. He was fully against sanctuary cities. He called them dumps. His campaign got no traction and he dropped out early into the race.
From the moment Biden dropped out of the 2008 race he began vying for the VP spot. Even though he disagreed with many of Obama's positions, once he was selected as VP he engaged in an unprecedented amount of ass kissing. "Yes boss. Sure boss." That's how Biden spent his eight years as VP. Biden sucked it up because he thought it would bring him closer to the Presidency.
Unfortunately for Biden, Obama chose Hillary over him as his successor. Biden absolutely wanted to run in 2016. His son died in 2015 and two months after Beau's death Biden leaked to The NY Times that his son's dying wish was for him to "prevent the Clintons from getting into the White House again." Biden campaigned heavily in the summer of 2015, right after his son had died. The support, however, was not there. In 2016 Biden announced that he would not run because he was still grieving the loss of his son. This was complete BS as he had just campaigned on his son's "dying wish."
Before the 2020 race Biden made a decision to say and do anything needed to get elected. His 2020 campaign was one of the most pathetic campaigns in American political history. He made ridiculous claims and ridiculous promises.
From 2017-2019 Biden had repeatedly said that he was not running for President in 2020. Charlottesville happened in 2017 and Biden spent the two years after claiming that he was not running in 2020. In the summer of 2019 his story changed and he claimed that he had to run because of Trump's comments on Charlottesville. Before this, Biden had little support among Democrats, they were actually begging him not to run. He needed an excuse to run and his team found the perfect one, knowing that the Trump hating media would not call him out on the Fine People Hoax.
Biden advocated for taking out Saddam well before the Iraq War. As Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee Biden blocked the testimonies of anyone opposing the war. Years after the war began, after no WMDs were found in Iraq, Biden went on TV and defended Bush. Biden argued that all administrations lie a little to gain support for war. In 2020 however, Biden claimed that George Bush had tricked him into supporting the war. Even Bernie Sanders laughed out loud at this claim.
In 2020 Biden disavowed his signature crime bill, the literal crown achievement of his 45 year political career, claiming that he never supported minimum sentencing or building new prisons. This was obviously a lie as he had spent an entire decade bragging about instituting minimum sentencing and building new prisons.
In 2020 Biden promised anything to anyone that would get him support. No more deportations. Free college. Free healthcare for illegals. A completely new criminal justice system. Defunding the police. Tearing down Trump's border wall. A pseudo apology for allowing Anita Hill to be harassed. In 2020 Joe Biden disavowed his entire political history. He gave multiple eulogies for George Floyd. During the debates he told Kamala Harris that he never opposed busing. This was a lie. Biden said anything, no matter how ridiculous, to get himself elected. He even reinvented his son Beau's "dying wish" to help him get elected. Biden knew that running for President would bring exposure to his son Hunter's criminal past but it didn't matter to him. Joe Biden had to become President.
Two months into his Presidency Biden claimed that he had united the country. During his first speech outdoors he was greeted with a "Fvck Joe Biden" chant. He was visibly angry. His dream of 48 years was to be greeted as a savior of this country and from the beginning of his Presidency, the American people rejected him.
Biden set his Justice Department on taking down Trump and yet he has watched as every indictment of Trump has brought his opponent more and more support. Biden is now up for re-election and his own party is begging him to drop out of the race. His opponent is deeply loved while he has been rejected by his own people.
Biden spent his entire career claiming that his was poor. He accumulated massive wealth while in office and instead of being home enjoying it with his family, he is being rejected and humiliated by his own party. Biden's legacy will be a lesson for future generations on the dangers of becoming addicted to power.
