Biden's Resurgence: How Putin's Actions Shifted the Political Landscape
Written on
Chapter 1: The Shift in Political Dynamics
In a scenario reminiscent of a dramatic turnaround, one could imagine Biden exclaiming, "Don't call it a comeback." A significant factor contributing to this change is Putin's catastrophic blunder—his aggressive actions in Ukraine have sparked a war that many perceive as targeting white populations.
As tensions escalate, the question arises: are we witnessing the early stages of World War III? Regardless of the terminology used to describe the quagmire that Putin has created for Russia, it has, surprisingly, been beneficial for Biden and the Democratic Party. In contrast, it has led to a public relations crisis for Putin and his American allies within the GOP and Trump.
Examining the current approval ratings, it is evident that while many Americans still express disapproval of Biden, recent weeks have demonstrated notable improvements. This shift can be attributed to two primary factors: Putin's glaring incompetence and a growing realization among Americans that authoritarian wishes are misguided. The ongoing events in Ukraine are increasingly viewed as contrary to fundamental American values by a significant portion of the populace.
People can cling to their hopeful visions of an autocratic regime in Ukraine, but the reality is becoming too stark to ignore. The GOP, RNC, and Trump now find themselves grappling with this critical turning point, as momentum shifts against anti-democratic sentiments.
Section 1.1: The Waning Allure of Autocracy
Historically, I posited that the Democrats would not lose control of the House, Senate, or the presidency, even before Putin mobilized his forces at the Ukrainian border. The notion of a "benevolent autocrat" was already fading; however, it has been decisively shattered by Putin's aggression. His choice to invade Ukraine, rather than focusing on eastern or southern territories, represents a monumental error.
Subsection 1.1.1: A Disturbing Reflection
The uncomfortable truth is that Putin's previous targets often included nations with predominantly non-white populations, where the atrocities committed were frequently severe. Now, the West is confronted with the horrifying reality of another despicable figure—perhaps as arrogant and unstable as Hitler—willing to commit violence against fellow white individuals.
This shift does not resonate well with a GOP that has recently embraced white supremacy. The Trump-Putin alliance is rapidly losing its appeal, and the brutality of this conflict is difficult to disguise.
The first video, "The Writ Podcast - Ep. #115: At Year's End, Where Do Poilievre, Trudeau & Singh Stand?" delves into the current political landscape and the implications of these shifts.
Section 1.2: A Call to Unity Against Tyranny
Trump's recent comments suggest a reckless attitude toward the situation, likening Russia's actions to a mere joke. It's disheartening that the public often waits until crisis strikes to respond. Yet, we now face a global threat from another egocentric leader wielding excessive power.
Fortunately, Biden's victory in the last election appears to have positioned him well for future success. One must acknowledge Putin's role in this revival.
Chapter 2: The Importance of NATO
Had Trump been in power, NATO might have faced dismantlement just before Putin's aggression escalated. The current crisis could have been far more devastating without NATO's American support. The West's swift response, characterized by strong sanctions against Putin's elite, has been crucial. Without this solidarity, Ukraine would likely have succumbed to Russian aggression.
The second video, "Jon Stewart & The Best F**kin' News Team Talk Media, Trump, Pizza, & Beyond," offers insights into the media's role in shaping public perception of these events.
As we navigate this dark period, it’s crucial to recognize that this struggle will ultimately foster a deeper appreciation for democracy and what it means to be American. We must stand united against the notion of one individual holding unchecked power, regardless of their claims to legitimacy.
In essence, our unity is our strength. We cannot afford to view the fight for democracy as a mere "comeback." Once lost, it may be irretrievable. Freedom is a collective right—if it is denied to some, it is denied to all.
