It’s easy to feel like we’re living in the twilight zone these days. Just look at the Biden Administration’s priorities. It is gleefully promoting woke over work, aliens over Americans, and entitlement over empowerment and entrepreneurship.
It makes little sense to so many. So why is Biden and his team doing this? On its face it appears payback and thanks to the radicals and the far left for supporting him this past November. It’s not outside the norms for a party to try to placate its supporters on the fringes. After all, Ronald Reagan gave the occasional speech on prayer in public schools, posting the Ten Commandments in buildings, and banning abortion, to name just three. The difference is Reagan, while recognizing those were important issues to his base, didn’t make those social issues cornerstones of his national policy strategy. His team remained laser focused on the priorities of cutting taxes across the board, reducing the size and scope of government, and rebuilding the military.
But what if first, Biden and his team actually believe destroying jobs and throwing thousands out of work from canceling the Keystone Pipeline is a good idea? Unionized blue-collar workers seemingly matter not to party elites. Second, what about opening the border to 25,000 or more migrants to cross during a global pandemic as sound policy? Some progressives even want to go further and demolish the entire southern border. Third, there’s the relentless drumbeat to pay people not to work by continuously promoting increased unemployment benefits, including a strange new variant that would allow anyone to refrain from work and still get paid simply by saying they have a fear of Covid.
Each of these Biden priorities could prove very unsafe, risky, and a bet against a robust future. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) summed up these peculiarities succinctly by noting, “If you’re going to claim you’re the party of the working class, you actually have to support working.”
