How will Biden's presidency be remembered?

[T. A. Gardner]

How do you think Biden's presidency will be remembered?

For me, he'll be a short entry, maybe a long footnote, in the history of Trump's presidency, nothing but a speed bump. Rather than being, as his cheerleaders would try to tell you, "transformative" or "historical," he'll be just an anomaly that occurred between Trump's time in office.

If you think about it, he came in on the end of a health crisis and contributed nothing to it. Anything he did towards that was overshadowed by events surrounding Trump, like Jan 6. You, well everybody, remembers that because the Left kept pounding on it incessantly, while few recall Biden's whiny mask and vaccine mandates that disappeared quickly in utter failure.

That followed with his trying to immediately fix the economy with the Infrastructure Bill that Biden saw in the same vein as early FDR acts to create jobs. Instead, it languished with little to show for results while driving inflation through the roof. When that happened, he doubled down on spending with the Inflation Reduction Act, that could better be described as the New Green Deal lite. Neither is particularly going to be recalled in history as something significant, but their results causing skyrocketing inflation will be.

Then there was the disaster in Afghanistan, followed by Ukraine, and then the disaster in the Middle East.

Stuff like the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago and lawfare against Trump will get more play than anything Biden was doing. Tack on two assassination attempts to that and Trump will get remembered for those while Biden might get a mention for falling down stairs, off bicycles, and other flubs of that sort. Certainly Biden will be remembered for being senile. I'd also say he's likely to get remembered as the least popular president to date since WW 2. That legacy has been cemented by the polls.

Harris, likewise, will go down as a failure having been anointed rather than elected by primary and running one of the shortest and worst presidential campaigns in history.

In the end, Biden most likely will be seen as inconsequential and irrelevant. Just a speed bump that somehow got elected. Trump often got more attention during Biden's four years than Biden, and that too isn't going to change.

Sure, Trump is going to clearly be remembered as divisive, but he won't be forgotten like Biden will be. In 100 years Biden's going to just be another Gerald Ford or Chester Alan Authur. A nobody that warmed the chair in the Oval Office for a term.

Biden was a great President. I actually hope Trump destroys our nation.

Criminal enterprise that ran Washington in the last days of the Empire.

Good analysis.
I’ll remember the so called “debate” and the circus freaks he appointed to key positions in government.
And he was the first incumbent ever to be given the hook, and that after winning the primary.
As to Harris, it’s hard to blame her for the incompetent campaign.
It had little to no chance of succeeding, anointing a previously failed candidate who couldn’t defend her past far left, extremist positions.
I still think Hillary ran the worst campaign ever.
The whole four years were a disaster for dims. A complete disaster.
As B. Hussein Obama said, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.”

I can agree with that. The Hildabeast ran a mediocre campaign but a good chunk of her problems were simply her. She is imminently despicable and dislikable. You just know the second you turn your back on her she'll stick the knife in and laugh about it.

I will say this positive about Joke, he has good timing. He first got elected to Congress on a fluke and did it again to win the presidency. Without the advent of Chinese Disease, he'd have lost to Trump. Interestingly, I'd say that would have served the Democrats better than his winning did.

You want this nation to collapse because your candidate lost? You are one America hating bastard.

No doubt. In that respect he really was a “transformative president “.
Dems will not be the same. They lost the working class and for the first time since the civil rights era minorities made a big shift (for them) to the right.
Now democrats are the party of the elite, certainly not the people, with only the MSM that have their backs.
But I can see even them shifting away from defending the democrats. Not profitable.
It may take some time though.
Leftists have a tendency to double down on stupid repeatedly before it sinks in.
