For me it’s not that I’m either ok or not ok with Biden as a candidate it’s that my brain cannot rationalize that the media has so uniformly freaked out about him while remaining comparatively serene about all the other far worse stuff in the past two weeks.
I guess the thing is that I’d trust news sources that would go “PRESIDENT ARE NOW LEGALLY ABLE TO DO CRIME!!!! and also Biden is old and doddering”, but not “BIDEN IS OLD AND DODDERING!!!! and also Presidents can now legally do crime”
Anyways I absolutely have zero faith that the media as a collective entity has any interest in preventing any sort of authoritarian or fascist takeover of America and if Trump doesn’t do it they’ll be just as compliant when the next person tries and the next person knows it
