As the election draws near, the purpose of this monologue is to help those undecided decide when both sides think the other is crazy. How can both sides be true? This is a common pattern in politics. If you’ve been an observer in this world for a while, you’ll see they mirror each other. The intensity of the hate is the same. I can only compare it to what me and Kilmeade feel towards each other. Except I don’t have crabs. What?! He has a sea farm where he grows crabs. It helps him forget about herpes.
But the intensity of the criticism of Biden’s perceptions seems to match the intensity of the criticism of Trump’s erratic behavior. They’re as interchangeable as Chris Cuomo and a bag of old farts. But each side feels just as strongly as the other. How can this be? Is the other side stupid and you smart? Is one side in a cult and the other enlightened enough to see what the cult is? How do you know if you’re on the wrong side? Other than agreeing with Joy Behar.
A key strategic empathy is to understand how the other side sees your side and to thoroughly examine their arguments. When Democrats hear about Trump, they hear this boastful, sneering, amoral figure ranting about evil liberals to the cheers of what they see as a fanatical, simple-minded mob. Trump’s personality takes precedence over his policies, so his critics don’t bring up his policies, even if they work. And by labeling his supporters as a mob, they don’t see the individuals among them, their concerns, and their allergies to Biden’s policies. Meanwhile, the “as is” of reality is replaced by the “what if” of the future. Instead of looking at the “as is” of things like the border, the focus is on what would happen “if” Trump became a dictator. But it’s the rumination on what if that leads to catastrophic thinking.
Trump trails Biden in key battleground states: poll
We call it TDS, but for them it is not a syndrome, they actually believe it. Now, as for the antipathy towards Biden, that side sees his weakness, his cognitive impairment that means his powerlessness over those who influence him. We mock his mistakes while worrying about what it means: the decline of the state, the obscurity on crime and inflation, the rise of reverse racism. I would like to say that the lights are on but no one is home, but the lights aren’t even on. But there is a difference. We see policies that are already in place, none of which are hypothetical, but are bad because of Joe’s incompetence.
The border is like a once charming bungalow that has fallen into disrepair and become home to isolated old people. So one feels offended and the other feels ignored. Now, maybe I am speaking in favor of Trump, but my bias is based on observation, not prediction. I can see this country sinking faster than a ball-pool lizo. But I saw something else that tells me that this comparison is not really similar at all. Just a year ago, we were lamenting the lack of two viable options: the old and feeble, or the seditious and reckless.
But here’s the difference: one was tried, the other wasn’t. Republicans responded by fielding capable, experienced candidates to replace Trump. From DeSantis to Haley, you know the names. But that was a necessary process to get the nomination. And Trump still won handily. But still, the party stress-tested Trump. Even Republicans who hate Trump should accept this reality and get their emotions in check. Heck, even African-American voters are saying orange is the new black.

Well, the Democrats had eyes and ears to see and hear their candidate collapse, yet they did no such thing. They didn’t do their job. Their primaries were as closed as Joe’s eyes were during his intelligence briefings. They built a wall around him that no illegal immigrant with a trampoline could overcome, and then they defended his candidacy even as we witnessed his decline in real time.

And now they want us to believe that Trump is going to survive another four years. How about four more minutes? They’re meeting to figure out how to get Trump to the helicopter. So, when you look at the two candidates, think about which party challenged each of them. Which party took responsibility for addressing voter concerns? For some reason, the Democrats didn’t. They knew that if they kicked the tires, the whole car was totaled.
