We are getting the advantage of Biden's age. He apparently never completely internalized the core thesis of Reagan Republicans, that government is the problem. He still carries a whiff of New Dealism -- government exists, and should work, to benefit all, not just the rich. Not very radical, except that it's been buried in BS since the 1980s. The question is still -- can be he serve as a bridge to new forms of enacting this in another round of threatening, authoritarian times?

As you may have guessed, I'm from Joe's age cohort. Looks obvious from here.

I have begun to realize that my brain is turning to mush after the barrage of absolute idiocy lately coming from the right. It does start to take its toll.

So,…I’ve decided to reward intelligence by becoming a paid subscriber. I need to reward thoughts that improve my brain like today’s article. Thank you David.
