It's merely posturing.
"Netanyahu!" "Bibi!"
It's not just for Michigan (which the GOP will be doing in just a few cycles ;)
It's for Progressives who fixate on an individual.
This way "Biden spanked Bibi!!!!" and when Bibi is inevitably ousted....the Progressives can pretend it's some victory. even though the apartheid and subjugation they PRETEND to care about.....remains.
The sole plus I get from this is that Biden HAD to do this.
A certain voter bloc is - like I used to say nn TMF and here - starting to learn their power, as limited that it is.
It's still in infancy. IN Europe they are an "exploding" population - yeah - LOL - I SAID IT. But here we will see if this new power grows and matures slowly. USUALLY - balkanized peoples have been controlled by Westerners by dividing and conquering. Exploiting ancient religious, caste, tribal rivalries and instilling fear in one or both sides. And THEN crowning the winner....in return for selling out to the European Crown that was doing the European Rape Genocide Du Jour. BUT while not a sure bet - there is hope.
Back in the W years - when I actually gave a shit - I used to warn about America's balkanization. I cited huge unassimilated voter groups forming separated by religion, race, tribe, caste - but also - socio economically and I said that eventually, you'll know from someone's face which tribe they are with. It's slowly starting to happen.
When I saw how racist the Liberals were - back then I had some economic oomph so one of the things I wrote about on TMF was befriending a Muslim small business person in Michigan. The SPECIFIC things I wrote about was showing the guy how to legally avoid TONS of taxes by buying the land his small biz was on and paying his family members and 401K'ing their salaries (amongst ahem other methods). The guy is still a friend and back then he gave me a watch with Arabic numerals and since then we've grown the group to 6 families. LOL now - *all* their kids had 40 quarters of Social Security done before college was over and because the "INCOME" was so low - (2) of the families had low FAFSA....and got all sorts of aid for college lolol.
Point being I've seen POTENTIAL on their working together but in the end - they are susceptible to divide and conquer.
America is a 200 year old baby yet now, the tribes and castes are becoming permanent. Already you can see - - Putin exploit one tribe. Bibi and Israel exploit the WHOLE country lol. China exploited the Left tribe in the 90's....and on and on and on.
Eventually my hope is the GOP stops being Israel's mule. That Israel can stop holding up ONE book of the Bible, say "noun, verb, rapture" and get a bunch of people shouting "Israel!!!"....thsi while many of the biggest proponents of Israel are NEoCons and Leftists that openly look on Conservatives as hicks and nuisances.
Muslims have a chance at bat. They haven't gotten into "smoke!" "drunk!" and the births out of wedlock lifestyle. 50's America, in some cases is alive ..... in minority groups like Muslim Americans and certain other groups the Liberals are racist against.
We shall see if the GOP is able to realize - this is their ticket to electoral wins in the future.
If not, oh well.
In the meantime my ObamaCare subsidy is nice :)
