So much to unpack here, but since I'm very angry with Biden, I'll start with that.

“…I think the problem with Biden is that he believed in our values but not our power. Whereas Trump believes in our power, but not our values.”

The problem with Biden was ego. He was too old to begin with. I'm two months shy of 78. 78 is not 75, or 70. My husband is 78. My siblings are around the same age. The members of my writing group were around the same age. 78 is old, even a for a person who ages 'well'.

Biden was too old the first time. The second time he and his entourage could not give up power. "I'm the only one who can beat Trump." His refrain. There are very few people in the world, in history, who can say "I'm the only one." There is always someone else.

Biden destroyed the country by insisting on running again. Not for staying too long in the race, but for running, period. We needed an open, vibrant primary with a candidate who could strike a fresh way forward.

Biden cheated us. I cannot forgive him. More than that, I can't forgive the people who persuaded an old, cognitively impaired man that he should struggle to hold onto power.
