Joe Biden is at his lowest point in popular approval as reported by Gallup. In fact, the numbers show that of the last nine presidents, he is the one with the lowest approval rating. That would explain why the Left is basing its entire election campaign on preventing Donald Trump from being able to run. 

If the Left’s political strategy had any sense, it would look to its own ranks and seek out a more suitable candidate to lead the party. But when looking in the rearview mirror, all leftists see is Kamala Harris, whose popularity rating is about the same as that of the swine flu virus. 

To top it off, Trump continues to insist that if he were president of the United States, half the conflicts that have plagued the world in recent times would simply not exist. He is right. From the Iranian offensive to Vladimir Putin’s madness, almost everything that has happened is the result of having a guy in the White House who can barely remember his own name, lacks a political agenda, is ignorant of the world of ideas, and bases all his political success on the same virtue that cork has: buoyancy. 

Biden has been floating since he started. He floats when everything around him is tumbling; he floats and gives the impression, in photographs, that he knows what he is doing. He floats and makes others believe that Biden is a real leader when the truth is that he is nothing more than a photograph, a zombie in makeup, and a bunch of advisers writing more or less inspired speeches that, in any case, he will spoil by trying to recite without making any mistakes.

Trump is the opposite. He has clear ideas, he has the ability to lead, and, although he sometimes performs erratically in front of the media, when all is said and done, he has the virtue of honoring his word. Trump is not fooling anyone. Trump would not have made a false withdrawal from Afghanistan, as Biden did. Trump would get Putin to think more than once about what he did in Ukraine. Trump would not be happy with inflation, nor would he waste his energy trying to convince the middle classes that rising prices are just a mirage, as the official White House spokesman Paul Krugman does every day, shattering what little prestige he had left as an economist.

The Democrats are at a dead end. That makes them more dangerous. Every time the Left feels cornered, it puts on a show, fills the streets with violence, or tries a big campaign of mass manipulation. My prediction is that in the coming months, we will see all of these things at once. 

The big question is what we conservatives can do about the coming dirty war. The first thing we should do in the face of this dirty war is the same thing we do in the face of anything that is dirty at home: clean up. It is true that much of the media is in the hands of the Left, but we still have a handful of magazines and newspapers that have a wide readership and reach an influential audience — The American Spectator is one of the best examples. We have a moral obligation to dismantle their lies, a moral obligation to defend ourselves with the same intensity with which we are attacked; and we also have a moral obligation not to lose patience when everything looks as bad as it can get. 

And, finally, despite the fact that the Left is trying to muddy the waters and base its campaign on the fear of Trump — in case it fails to put him in jail, which is what it would prefer — we have to remember that while that battle is important, we are all about ideas, and that’s what we should insist on: you know, freedom, low taxes, spending restraint, promoting family and high birth rates, an end to environmental ruin, world leadership, moral superiority of the Christian West, and total hostility to dictatorships, whether Bolivarian or Islamist. 

One of the funniest moments in the Blues Brothers movie is when John Belushi says, “We’re on a mission from God.” In a way, at this dark hour of the 21st century — and not wanting to seem pompous — we, too, are on a mission from God.
