Before pandemic, 150 000 American workers / year were dying deaths of despair as direct result of policies enacted by neolib neocon coalition rallying behind Biden. Harvard scholars in Biden coalition attributed deaths to "disproportionate opportunity" (to access guns & opiates).
During covid pandemic they've oscillated wildly, from alleging anti-Chinese racism more harm than pandemic (Jan-Mar), to racism is real pandemic (all🔥summer), to Trump is a racist responsible for covid death toll (now). For Biden voters, mass death is just a rhetorical bludgeon.
They don't want to stop any of the death. Their morality is anti-human because death makes them rich. Deindustrialisation enriched them. Totalising liquid modernity & the turn to speculative capital enriched them. The Iraq war enriched them. Opioid addiction enriched them.
Any visual evidence of people hurt by their brutally exploitative lifestyles must be destroyed. Pushed out of sight ASAP, then performatively bandage the narcissistic wounds. That's why they hate border crisis + ICE + MAGA teen. That's why they đź’– BLM. It's all just hand washing.
Nothing is any different, on any substantive political front, between Obama and Trump re every issue Biden voters pretend to care about. Every single one was same: immigration, healthcare, abortion, BLM, bla bla bla everything was same. They just hate that Trump doesn't hide it.
Trump unsettles them because he doesn't need to lie to obscure the contradictions. Whether by shamelessness or cluelessness or whatever, it doesn't matter, he brings them face to face with their own politics & they can't handle it. They need pretty little lies to sleep at night.
Pretty little lies like "deaths of disproportionate opportunity" to explain away ravages of deindustrialisation & pretty little lies like "death by cops is an issue of race not class" to deny their own complicity in deprivation & disfunction of DEMOCRAT led fragile communities.
The Left suppressed both class struggle & (admittedly petit bourgeois) economic protests, only to spend the summer encouraging unmitigated mob violence, anarchy, arson, looting, and brutality, in name of "justice". A Biden presidency cannot make these sadists any less predatory.
