Dispelling the Myth of Joe Biden

The election of Joe Biden already feels like ancient history — almost as ancient as Biden himself. By now, the 2020 deceptions of Joe Biden as the unifier this country needed are a distant memory. The 2021 delusions of Joe Biden as a new FDR or LBJ have likewise faded.

We are left with the Joe Biden of today: not a uniter but a divider; not a triple-initialized titan bestriding history, but a hapless Jimmy Carter reprise (with diminished mental acuity). But this downgraded Joe Biden is no less dangerous. Indeed, that he is unequal to the moment only raises the threat he poses to our constitutional order.

Which is why we need your help. Over the past week, we have been asking readers for support in our effort to dispel the illusion of Biden and to restrain what remains of the reality. Many have responded, bringing us close to $75,000 in total contributions. Our gratitude for these gifts is both sincere and hard to measure. We are thankful for every dollar. Each donation sent our way sustains our campaign to show the world who Biden really is, and to keep him from getting away with it. And we couldn’t do it without you.
