Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government’s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
— Justice Louis D. Brandeis

I’ve described Biden recently, but what the old dodderer is shouldn’t be a shock to anyone. This is what happens when you order a President through the mail. What shows up rarely looks or is as good as what it looked like online or in the catalog, even more so when it turns out it’s just a piece of Chinese-made crap.
Whether in the context of cosplay or not, 2B or not 2B is quite possibly the dumbest question ever. And, if it’s not actually the dumbest, it’s still down there near the nadir of queries. 😉
Mr. Russell, in his work, Unpopular Essays, was quite correct. The behaviors of Liberals, Progressives, Minorities, Feminists – all of the sorts that vote Democrat – have proven this time and time again, with each paroxysm of fear and its resultant ferocity and often feral savagery further proving that it’s a degenerative cycle.
It doesn’t matter which fear it is either. COVID-19, Climate Change, Capitalism, or the more fundamental fear of straight, White men, the response by the Left and their minority sharecroppers is always to circle up and attack anyone who doesn’t share their fears however they can, which normally means vilifying them and labeling them as an existential threat.
Worse, it doesn’t end – though the latest, trendy fear may distract them from previous fears for a while. Instead, it escalates because the Dems’ collective fears create a feedback loop between them, the Lamestream Media, and their politicians that is self-perpetuating and, like all engines subject to positive feedback loops, prone to runaway or race conditions.
The truly unfortunate thing is that there’s no outside cure for cowardice, only cures for cowards.
ROFLMAO Yes! Do as your toad; live, loaf, loathe. It’s easy. It’s natural. It’s completely warranted. It’s true; any of the species of Brevicipitidae have a lot to teach us. All we have to do is learn from them. 😉
