May I introduce you to Victor Shi, a 21-year-old UCLA student and Joe Biden Superfan who is currently serving as an avatar for one of the creepiest figures in our contemporary partisan politics: the eloquent, well-educated young man who, of his own free will and enthusiasm, has inexplicably elected to become a brain-dead mouthpiece for an octogenarian politician to whom he has no obvious connection whatsoever.
Victor, who “began his time in politics in eighth grade” and was “the youngest delegate for Joe Biden to the DNC Convention in 2020 at age seventeen,” is so fervently committed to President Biden that he has chosen to spend his early 20s tweeting about the man in a manner that would have made even the cowed sycophants of Stalin’s inner circle blush. All day, every day, Victor lauds the president before his 246,000 followers. “People love President Biden,” Victor wrote on Saturday. “This is the president we all need & deserve.” Why? Isn’t it obvious? Because Biden is “bringing back leadership.” Because “his empathy, compassion, and kindness are his superpowers — and that’s why people love him.” Because “every day, President Biden sets an example for all of us.” Because “President Biden is one of us & THIS is why we love him.” Because “President Biden is a man of our time & is the leader we need.” Because he’s married to “our amazing First Lady.”
