The old adage in politics that a “gaffe is when a politician tells the truth” is a relevant lens by which to view the recent comments made by President Joe Biden, referring to Trump supporters as “garbage.” In the eyes of the regime, anyone who would dare ignore their edicts and consider voting for a true political opponent is deserving of contempt. The fact Donald Trump, often despite himself, has become the political banner for those Americans who recognize the illegitimacy of Washington’s power makes a potential victory a matter that threatens their long-secured hold on power.
