SO THEY'RE ADMITTING THAT BIDEN REALLY IS PRESIDENT?

I'm sure you know about this:
On Truth Social, Trump posted a video of Trump themed vehicles driving in New York. One of the trucks has an image of Joe Biden on the back bound with rope...

Some MAGA Republicans have been displaying this graphic depicting President Joe Biden bound with rope and laying in the bed of a pickup truck apparently kidnapped. Trump is now encouraging such imagery.

But why would tying up President Biden and tossing him in the trunk of your vehicle matter, if the right wing's standard Biden narrative is correct? Don't all right-wingers believe that Biden is a drooling dementia case who can't possibly do anything on his own?


Junior's father has repeatedly said that Barack Obama is actually president, and while one of Trump Senior's top surrogates won't go quite that far, she certainly doesn't believe Biden is in charge:
"Obama is running the country," Georgia's delusional lawmaker told Steve Bannon. "Obama is having his third term ... and everyone's always known that."

Greene then goes on to explain what she's really getting at. "Of course he's coming out as the leader of the Democrat party, because he always has been the leader of the Democrat party. Joe Biden is just a puppet, dangling on the strings, doing what Obama wants him to do."
But, of course, there's always a Schrödinger's quality to Democrats as described by Republicans. Obama, when he actually was in power, was both a powerful nation-destroying autocrat and a feeble-minded diversity hire who couldn't utter a sentence without reading it off a Teleprompter. Biden is both the powerful Godfather of a depraved crime family and an addled imbecile.

And even the right-wingers who think Biden isn't running the country presumably like the idea of stuffing him in a car trunk because, well, they just like the idea of hurting their enemies. The cruelty is the point. They want to be cruel, but they want to seem morally justified in their cruelty. That's why they have so many fantasy scenarios -- non-white or "Antifa" rioters burning down entire cities, a Democratic administration going house to house to confiscate firearms, terrorists slipping across the "open" border -- that seem to justify righteous violence (in self-defense, of course!). They've decided Biden's presidency is that level of evil (no matter who's really in charge of the country), so, sure, tie Biden up and dump him in the trunk. It's fun, but it's patriotic fun, y'know?
