Now, normally I would do a podcast about this, but with everything going on, I\u2019ve been too busy. I can\u2019t wait to get back to the show. I noticed something today while doing my usual scroll through X. There are a lot of hateful, vile people. In the wake of Joe Biden\u2019s recent news, some people took to X to celebrate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Now I know this shouldn\u2019t shock me, but many of them were conservative or Trump voters. Many of them said they were glad he was sick and hoped he died a miserable death. Trump himself sent condolences and said he would stop referring to him as \u201csleepy Joe,\u201d but others were hell-bent on wishing Biden hell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I know politics gets dirty, and usually the people getting nasty are liberals. More recently, it\u2019s been about even, and now it\u2019s just insane what I\u2019m seeing. Being an anarchist, I am able to see the hypocrisy of both parties, and the American political landscape is nasty. This, though, went beyond anything I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Americans have always held themselves with some decency. We used to have a collective belief and understanding that life and death were sort of off-limits. Like Biggie said, \u201cI would never wish death on nobody because there ain\u2019t no coming back from that,\u201d which is how we all used to act. True, you had your lone people here and there, but not as widespread as I saw on X. It really was disheartening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I have said it more than once that Joe Biden served and deserved to enjoy his remaining days in retirement, and whoever pulled him from that well-earned retirement should face charges because now he\u2019s become a laughingstock, and I hate to see that. No matter what side, those that serve deserve the respect. I\u2019m old school that way, I guess. Biden\u2019s news is heartbreaking for those that love him, cherish him, and it\u2019s because of this I will never rejoice in his pain or potential death from cancer. I\u2019ve been on the other end with multiple family members dying from cancer; it\u2019s not a pretty thing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
People rejoicing because of the J6 response, who got swept in it or whatever else the reason was, are just low people. Americans are better than that. We all know death and pain, and that\u2019s always been the one thing we had in common and understood was off-limits. Today was heartbreaking for several reasons, but most importantly because our political divide has gotten so bad now that we are cheering for someone\u2019s death because they aren\u2019t part of one party\u2026that\u2019s pathetic.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
