Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Biden debate debacle is the exposure of the liberal blindness to all that which does not fit into the narrative that they so desperately want to believe.
I have no doubt that most American (and possibly British) liberals refused to accept the undeniable fact that Biden is a very old man who has lost a significant part of his faculties. It has been on display for months, arguably since 2020, and they have steadfastly denied the obvious reality.
Of course we know that this denial has been made possible by the mainstream press. Nonetheless it was always easy enough to find the truth outside the MSM, but this would have taken them outside their comfort zone - cognitive dissonance. One of the foundational aspects of that comfort zone is that (The Guardian, BBC, MSNBC, NY Times, whichever you choose) tell the truth or at least try to.
Therefore it is remarkable to see the liberals having their noses rubbed in the truth about Biden. They clearly have been lied to and at least some of them, must be realising that now.
Perhaps this can serve to put the spotlight on their wider myopia on a multitud of topics:
➡️ All things related to Covid, but especially the vaccines
➡️ Foreign policy across the board and the role the military industrial complex plays in our political system
➡️ Israel, made more stark since October 7
➡️ Our broken political systems and corrupt, self-serving parties
➡️ The obviously out of control LGBT agenda
➡️ The inconsistencies and predictive failures of the climate change movement
➡️ The absolute failure of neo-liberal economic policy and the growing inequality in our society
➡️ The disaster that has been immigration and refugee policy for the past generation
Not all liberals are blind on all of these topics, but certainly most are. And it feels like only a series of catastrophic events can wake them up.
Unfortunately, this liberal blindness, their inability to deal with reality, is exactly what will bring on these catastrophes.
And a more immediate question American liberals must today be asking, if Biden isn't running the country (and it is now clear, even to them, that he is not), then who is?
