Biden SOTU: Wokeyness to the Tune of FDR

I watched the SOTU last night, although I didn't hear much of the Ukraine part, because I was cooking dinner. The impression I got was that President Biden was achieving miracles with moral support for Ukraine.

But whatabout the rest of it? It was weird, when you think about it. Because it was the usual glorious handout of loot and plunder to the supporters, rendered with Biden's shtick that he's just good old Lunchpail Joe from Delaware.

Only, the Dems aren't the party of the lunchpail set any more.

And the handouts were, first, the pre-K and child-care and abortion and health care proposals. Plus a shoutout to LBGTQ and good old Joe having the backs of the Trans people. And, of course, 500,000 charging stations.

So really, the supporters of the Democrats are single mothers and LGBT activists and greenies.

I know. We already knew that.

OK. So there was a lot of misdirection on the inflation front, with Joe telling us that he is fighting for lower costs. On insulin and prescription drugs. And the outrage of shippers raising their prices! OMG!

Then I was having coffee with a retired friend who really still cannot figure out where Trump came from. I rehearsed the whole populist thing from Nixon and the Silent Majority to today's MAGA and trucker protests.

But the thing is that if you are an ordinary educated person in the US you will know nothing about this, because the MSM -- regime media -- is clueless about it too.

Seriously. To me, if you are the ruling class, you need to know exactly what the peasants are up to, and why. Instead, it seems to me, our rulers are blindsided by the populist rebellion. With Trudeau at the Battle of the Bouncy Castle fighting against Nazis. And our rulers blathering on about "armed insurrectionists."

It is easy for us armed insurrectionists to attribute evil intent to our rulers. But if you apply Hanlon's Razor, and

never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity,

then the likelihood is that the Dems really don't get it. They live inside their DC and regime-media bubble and the Tea Party, the deplorables, the Trump effect, the trucker convoys are basically inexplicable.

Remember, our rulers today have a universal explanation for everything. It's racism-sexism-homophobia. Always. Everywhere.

Hey rulers! Do you think that maybe the natives are restless because your economic policy and your race policy and your energy policy and your border policy and your policing policy and your mandate policy area all really hitting ordinary people right in the solar plexus?

But they don't get it, and neither do their supporters. We had some liberal friends over for dinner a couple nights ago, and one of the women breathed something about "disinformation." And today I read that in California Democrats are pushing legislation to crack down on "disinformation."

These people have no idea that all governments everywhere are stupid and incompetent, lie about everything, and then insist that anyone that disagrees is an enemy of the people.

Well, on to November.
