6 months after his stroke and a month before Election Day, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman finally sat down for a disastrous interview in which he offered contradictory responses and responded to closed captions. The Democrat Senate candidate still hasn’t provided his medical records even to a friendly press and social media is filled with awkward videos of his campaign appearances.
Will Fetterman be able to function if he wins? Who knows. Just ask Joe Biden. If he can answer.
Biden, who insists on another term, is barely present and functioning in this one. His attention span varies wildly. He spews incoherent gibberish and lies so wildly that it’s practically a medical condition. Videos show him wandering aimlessly with staff and even a giant bunny acting as handlers for the man who is supposed to be the most powerful figure on the world stage.
The Zombie Democrats aren’t an entirely new phenomenon.
In 1919, two years after he was inaugurated after winning a second term on a promise to keep America out of WWI and to keep segregation in place, Woodrow Wilson suffered another stroke. With the Republicans winning the House and Senate, the Wilson administration launched a ruthless crackdown on political opponents. Wilson had little to do with it. He was incapacitated by a catastrophic stroke. Wilson’s wife had become the first de-facto female president.
But, like Biden, Wilson wanted to run for another term that he wasn’t capable of holding. His greed for power, sabotaged Democrat chances and put a Republican back in the White House.
If Fetterman wins, he’ll join a Senate that includes Senator Dianne Feinstein whom insiders allege has trouble “recognizing colleagues” and following “policy discussions”. “I don’t even know what that is,” she reportedly replied to a staffer trying to explain that they were moving on a continuing resolution.
If Biden doesn’t run then Senator Bernie Sanders, who hasn’t been able to grasp a new idea since 1976, wants in. Why not Fetterman too? He’s at least as functional as the socialist he once supported.
D.C.’s dirty little secret has always been that staffers and bureaucrats run the place, not the officials elected by the people. In the era of the Zombie Democrat, that’s truer than ever. It’s easier to run a government when the elected officials barely know what planet they’re on.
That the Biden administration has quickly become the most radical in under a century isn’t due to any innate extreme streak in its titular figurehead, but to his mental absence from politics. Given a puppet with just enough brain cells to retell rambling pointless stories and read words off a teleprompter, the leftist staffers are showing what they can really do with that power.
Much as with Woodrow Wilson and his wife, the problem with the Zombie Democrats isn’t just that they can’t do their jobs, it’s that someone else is doing their jobs for them. But then that was always true. The massive increase in the size of government since the 19th century has made it impossible for any president to be able to handle. Senators and even House members are just dipping spoons in an ocean, bolstered by career staffers who have a wider scope of D.C.
What actually happens is that think tanks and pressure groups propose things to staffers, which elected officials then write up into legislation, which is then modified by other staffers which, if passed into law, is then interpreted by bureaucrats and later judges to mean something completely different. Under these conditions, why not have members of the nation’s highest legislative body do their work remotely or be too demented or disabled to function?
The sad truth is that nothing will change very much because we don’t just have zombie politicians, we have a zombie government over which elected officials exercise little control.
The difference is that when the officials are themselves zombies that becomes obvious.
The Soviet Union took a beating in credibility at home and abroad when its leaders, beginning with Brezhnev, became senile apparatchiks who could barely read their speeches and, beginning with Andropov, could barely even stay alive in power. Gorbachev took office as a compromise candidate because he was the youngest. But the real problem wasn’t age. As he discovered, no one could actually run the Soviet Union, they could only bring it down.
Biden is discrediting America in a whole new way even while doubling down on Obama’s policies. At least under Obama, people felt reasonably certain that he was awake most of the time. Now there are invisible hands programming a teleprompter, speaking in an earpiece, guiding him on and off the stage, presenting things for him to sign and speaking on his behalf.
The media’s enthusiastic defenses of Fetterman’s inability to function are really apologetics for Biden and for the entire zombie system of elected officials who are there as puppets and fronts.
In our perpetual night of the living dead legislators and executives, the unfitness to hold office is actually a qualification. Unable to focus or understand, they are dependent on their eyes and ears, on their handlers and longtime friends, on lobbyists and assets to tell them what to do.
In D.C.’s Weekend at Bernie’s sequel, those politicians who spend the most time in office become an immovable force. The longer they manage to stick it out, the more pliable and useful they become. It’s a game that the young, the middle-aged and the elderly can all play. As long as, like John Fetterman, they spent their lives being taken care of by their families until, when suffering a stroke, they are then given into the care of their wives and their handlers.
Having burned through most identity politics groups, the new frontier is running people who are just not there. The media is already rallying attacks on anyone suggesting that Fetterman isn’t able to function and shouldn’t be in this race, accusing them of ‘ableism’. And why would we possibly want the ‘able’ to run our government when we can have the ‘unable’ at the wheel?
Who benefits from such an arrangement? The same lefties who are aggressively pushing it.
The hidden hand tends to do the bidding of one side. And to perform it in a consistent manner. The less the top official knows, like Obama, or the less he’s aware, like Biden, the more radical the program that the Left is able to implement in its hijacking of the United States of America.
Who better than a zombie to run a zombie nation?
Zombie Democrats. Zombie government. Senile apparatchiks. Good analysis of the mechanics of government.
I actually have some sympathy for government employees at the point who have to interpret and carry out impossible instructions from above.
Only 20% of government employees deserve sympathy, the other 80% are either parasites or leftist elites.
One tangent is that the higher-ups give the lower-downs math problems they are incapable of solving 🙂
That Marxist, John Fetterman must obviously have the sinister intentions of wrecking the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with his scheme to legalize heroin, Fetterman also wants to release many dangerous harden criminals for the different prisons throughout the Pennsylvania.
Just think of the dangerous and many different crimes that those hooligans wants to set free would inflict on the peaceful law abiding citizen of PA.
This would further weak society and that creeping crime would then, naturally spread to the other States of this nation.
To out this another way, such lawlessness create havoc and chaos that would expand to other States of this country and be just a harmful and deadly as the disease, which is the coronavirus.
Fetter man has to be intending to play the awful heinous game of destruction as described by Karl Marx. Who had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”
It should be of no genuine surprise that John Fetterman wants to set criminal’s free from prison.
The cosseted idiot is smart enough to know the thugs he frees will be dumped in our neighborhoods; not his gated palisade.
Should any of these thugs stray into any democrat neighborhoods, they’ll be wisked off within 48 hours. (These liberal hypocrites demonstrated that as they cheered the removal of 48 illegal aliens from Martha’s Vineyard.)
That horrible John Fetterman is a very evil man; he even looks like a goon.
If he doesn’t get enough freshly printed ballots to give him the senate seat, the dullard can always try to form a grung band, as his skinhead look testifies to. (The thugs he frees can show up to his 1st concert.)
If he doesn’t get enough freshly printed ballots to give him the senate seat, the dullard can always try to form a metal-rock band, as his skinhead look testifies to. (The thugs he frees can show up to his 1st concert.)
It should be of no genuine surprise that John Fetterman wants to set criminal’s free from prison.
That’s because the just might be his “brothers in heart.” Meaning he gives a very strong appearance, that he could be a “criminal in spirit.” After all, he looks just like a goon.
If that ugly fool wants to be lead singer for a grung band, he’ll get my vote – never for the Senate.
Judging by his appearance, the cloistered idiot has been fantasizing about opening for Megadeath for years.
If elected, I can only fantasize that Oz won’t sell out like Mitt Romney, or bend the knee to Mitch McConnell.
(Here’s hoping that DeSantis will serve as his example.)
“What actually happens is that think tanks and pressure groups propose things to staffers, which elected officials then write up into legislation, which is then modified by other staffers which, if passed into law, is then interpreted by bureaucrats and later judges to mean something completely different.”
The perfect description of all the world’s governments, including and especially the U.N.
Yes, I thought that was quite good.
There might be a larger point here that many on the Right seem to be missing. Yes, there are apparently some Democratic politicians who are being led down the garden path toward the memory care wing of the local assisted living facility. But there are plenty of others who have been making some awfully bizarre choices without benefit of diminished capacity. Does anybody really believe that Nancy Pelosi, James Clymer, and Steny Hoyer are completely on board with all the wokeness being stuffed down the throats of the American people? Don’t forget that these leaders of the Democrat party all came of age before the upheaval of the 1960’s. They were adults–adult adults–before the Kennedy assassination set us off on a new trajectory. These are people who want so much to hold on to power that they are willing to grab hold of the tiger’s tail. And they are well aware that the tiger is not the Democrat party itself–but the party’s masters in the media, tech, entertainment, and education.
I keep expecting Kamala Harris to pop out of Fetterman’s reverse goiter, so we could have a re-make of the 70s horror/comedy “The Thing With Two Heads.” VERY weird.
Zombie elected officials, zombie administration officials, both a result of an electorate that is becoming more and more zombie.
