(SUBSTACK) — Joe Biden has spent a half century in elected office in Washington DC. Until last night, his only real legacy involved collecting substantial personal wealth for himself and his family.
After all, he was an unremarkable corporatist senator from Delaware who capably represented mammoth multinationals, but he mattered little legislatively. He was then a largely ignored vice-president who doddered in political obscurity, even as he secretly maneuvered with his son to establish lucrative business ties with the most dangerous regimes on the planet.
But now, Joe Biden makes his mark – and solidifies his ignoble legacy as the first US president to explicitly denigrate tens of millions of citizens in a fascistic and incendiary speech targeting masses of regular citizens as criminals.
