If Joe Biden is sworn in as president of the United States in January, many Democrats and their friends in the liberal media will instantly claim that he has a mandate.
They will be mistaken.
Joe Biden does not have a mandate to effect change, and no amount of complaining from the professional left will change this fact.
The same people who will champion Biden’s non-existent mandate have fought President Trump for four years. They cast doubt on his 2016 victory, they investigated him and members of his team, they claimed he was mentally unfit for office, they called him an asset of Russia, and actively sought to ruin almost anyone who defended him.
These same people who cast doubt on the outcome of the 2016 election for four years now have the audacity to demand fealty. The same election interference they swore stole the 2016 election for Trump is now branded a conspiracy theory if you dare question Biden’s victory.
Democrats who enlisted Yale psychiatrist Bandy Lee to declare Trump mentally unfit for the presidency, will now sneer if you question Joe Biden’s obviously frail mental state. Even Bandy Lee is suddenly no longer willing to offer a diagnosis from afar.
Contrary to popular opinion in the media, Trump actually had a mandate. He beat Hillary Clinton, one of the most powerful and well connected players in American politics of the last 50 years.
The people who elected Trump in 2016 gave him a clear mandate. They wanted him to clean up corruption in Washington, protect America’s borders, care about the abandoned middle class, reverse unfair trade policies, end the endless wars, promote the United States Constitution in the judiciary, and be a cheerleader for America.
What is Joe Biden’s supposed mandate? To further the stranglehold the D.C. establishment has on the lives of ordinary Americans? To continue the wars in the Middle East and begin new ones? To place a bigger tax burden on the middle class engine of America’s economy? To advance the left’s efforts to divide Americans by race? Who wants this?
