America began to save democracy from Democrats

[RIA] It's been a long time since Joe Biden was this angry. It’s been a long time (more precisely, never) since he yelled from the podium “I understand what power is” and promised not to allow Donald Trump to gain access to this very power. And there are very serious reasons for his rage, which it is useful for us in Russia to understand.

Let's try to separate what is important for us from entertaining American studies. Yes, monitoring what is happening in the former only superpower, its convulsions and collapse, is also a necessary and useful thing. But sometimes, among American exoticism, situations come across that give a good lesson to everyone.

So, a whole speech - and everything is just about Trump. Joe Biden spoke (and shouted) at Montgomery College in Pennsylvania, but the event was designated in advance as a “speech at Valley Forge,” that is, the Valley of the Forges. The valley itself is actually fifteen miles from the college, but there is no place to perform in it: hills and forests. And the symbolic significance of this area in American history is, well, approximately like Stalingrad, that is, when there is nowhere to retreat further and from this point only forward. In the valley, George Washington, beaten by the British, in the cold and hungry winter months of 1777-1778, with great difficulty, restored his army - and eventually led his troops to victory in the summer.

So, the meaning of Biden’s speech is that “there is no land beyond the Volga,” democracy in the United States must be saved. Let’s repeat: American studies is a necessary thing, but let’s not get into overseas little things like the fact that Biden’s campaign officials don’t see any gains in talking about the economy, not to mention discussions about events in Ukraine and the Middle East. It’s better for the Democrats to remain silent about all this. And turn the conversation to something really serious, that is, to an unprecedentedly intensified fight for the very meaning of America. For democracy.

So let's see how they see it. “Unlike other countries, America is not built on nationality, religion, geography, we are the only nation in the history of the world built on an idea.” Interesting, right? Well, continuing to quote Biden, one of these ideas is clear that “all men and women are created equal.”

What ideas are Biden's supporters, that is, Democrats, building their America on, and how do some of these ideas relate to equality? Here it is useful to pay close attention to the wild scandal that has been shaking the country for several weeks now. And if the country hardly noticed Biden’s “Stalingrad” speech, then everyone is still furiously discussing the Claudine Gay case.

We are talking about the first black president of Harvard University in history, who lasted about six months and was thrown out after a scandal, testifying in Congress and much more. The formal reason is that this exemplary liberal plagiarized her own scientific works, as well as the fact that she did not explicitly protect Jewish students from the persecution of other students who spoke out for Palestine. This is a serious story because this is Harvard, the standard of education and the forge of the elite, and also because in fact Claudine was overthrown by the massive resistance of Americans to the very idea on which the Democrats are trying to build America.

This is only one idea of ​​the Democrats, but it is a key one. It's called DEI, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion. We are talking about imposing quotas not only in schools and universities, but in any public and private offices and enterprises for people of a different skin color, women, LGBT* people and others, anyone except whites, heterosexuals and those who believe in God, in general, except Trump voters. That is, success in life in tomorrow’s America should be earned not by talent, work and merit, but based on a questionnaire. Or, as Elon Musk said the other day, “discrimination on the basis of race, which is what DEI is about, is the literal definition of racism.”

The Democrats' rage over the devouring of Claudine Gay is explained in a detailed and panicky article, which tells us that throughout the country, dozens of powerful corporations, law firms, Supreme Court judges and just activists are mercilessly poisoning everyone who instills this racism and other quota system for "the oppressed,” that is, DEI. Companies, universities, and schools are inundated with lawsuits against this official racism. That is, this uprising is fighting for the same American idea that people are born equal. And Trump did not invent and direct this; it has nothing to do with his election campaign at all. It’s just that, finally, half of America has seriously rebelled against the key ideas that were forcefully implanted by the other half of America. Rebels competently and powerfully. A good lesson for any rabid ideologues and transformers of society to their liking.

And this riot for the Democrats is truly a situation where there is nowhere to retreat and they have to rage, make menacing speeches and call Donald Trump all kinds of names.
Oh my.
