Trouble looms on the horizon for Joe Biden, at least for now. While polling has consistently shown discontent among younger voters, a key base for the Democratic Party, direct testimony isn't saying anything different.
The Washington Post visited the campus of the University of Michigan, and the responses were dire for the cognitively challenged president.
The Washington Post recently spoke to several University of Michigan voters who claimed they might support a candidate other than Biden due to the issue, with one voter telling the outlet that she and her friends now refer to the world leader as "Genocide Joe" because of his support for Israel.
(...)
The Post reported: "… [senior Bhavani Iyer] said she doesn’t know if she will support President Biden’s reelection bid next November. One of her top priorities is protecting access to abortion, but her disapproval of Biden’s handling of the Israel-Gaza war and his decision not to call for a full cease-fire weighs just as heavily on her mind these days."
"In past elections, I voted a straight ticket. But in this one, I feel like it’s probably not going to be that way," Iyer told the paper.
Several more examples are given with quotes in the article, but you get the idea. Young voters are very upset with the current White House resident.
In light of that, while there hasn't been a lot to celebrate as a Republican over the last half-decade or so, I take a lot of enjoyment from watching the Democratic Party eat itself. That it's doing so over Israel trying to destroy Hamas, a terrorist government that massacred 1,400 people on October 7th, makes it even better.
The far left doesn't care that Biden is in a steep mental and physical decline or that his policies have created an economic situation that would make Jimmy Carter look preferable. Young voters particularly don't care that they won't be able to buy a house or that they'll have to get two jobs to make ends meet after they wrack up a few hundred thousand in debt with college.
No, what they care about is that the president isn't antisemitic enough. It's both hilarious and pathetic. Out of all the horrible things Biden has done and continues to do, the one thing that kills him with younger voters is his lack of support for a terrorist government that has pledged to commit genocide in order to create an Islamic state that treats women like slaves. You can't make this stuff up. That's how contradictory and insane the modern left is.
They scream about "social justice" and "oppression," yet they take the side of vicious, murderous oppressors because they otherwise might have to defend the Jews, and we can't have that. Younger voters, many indoctrinated in college, believe that skin tone and financial standing dictate oppression, not, you know, actual oppression. That's how you get Muslims being treated as perpetual victims despite Islam's entire history being marked by conquering, enslaving, and colonizing.
In short, young voters tend to be really, really stupid. Perhaps they'll grow out of it, but in the meantime, perhaps they'll at least not show up to vote if they are this angry at Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is in Nantucket for the Thanksgiving holiday with several members of his extended family, including his grandchildren as well as his son, Hunter Biden.
One of the grandchildren posted about the family taking a "polar plunge" and it wasn't clear whether or not Joe took the dip. But Biden did take credit at a presser for the deal in which Hamas released some of the hostages they had taken on Oct. 7 when they attacked Israel. But there so far have been no Americans included among the people released. Biden seemed to have no idea about whether any Americans would be released. Then too, questions were raised about his health when he came into the presser and seemed to stagger/weave as he moved toward the podium set up for him.
But after he left the presser, he went out to lunch in town at a place that some noted was perhaps appropriately named, given the allegations of corruption that are currently being investigated about Biden and his family in Congress, "Brotherhood of Thieves." Anti-Israel protesters were across the street shouting, "Free Palestine!" Biden saluted a man who was nearby because he was wearing a USS Nantucket hat.
If you noticed there's a man with horns as the logo of the restaurant. It's a historical restaurant and you can read some of the history of the place and why the man has horns.
They continued to chant while Biden shopped the Black Friday deals in the town.
Then later in the day, Biden went to the town tree lighting.
There he was met by more protesters with signs saying "Free Palestine" and chanting "Biden, Biden, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide!" Why are they still protesting? There's a ceasefire right now. So you mean it's not about that? Who would have guessed?
Another point of irony, given Democrats whip up their left. So it's rather funny when it comes back to bite them in the posterior like this. He can't even go to a tree lighting without these characters haunting his steps.
There was also a story that didn't get wider reporting, that on Wednesday there was a fire alarm that went off at the home where Biden was staying, but it was a false alarm. They don't explain what triggered the false alarm.
Was Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) in the vicinity?
