The Fox News meme goes something like this, "You might like Joe Biden—but don't be fooled! He's a frontman for The Squad, Antifa, and the radical Left." The Alt-Right has picked up on this: "Does anyone seriously believe Biden will be the one running the show if he gets elected?"
It's worth pointing out that Fox rarely claimed Hillary would be a "frontwoman" for radicals. This has something to do with Biden's mental challenges, but mostly to do with the fact that everyone already hated Hillary. There was no need to associate her with anything else.
Of course, no president has ever completely "run the show." There are always forces above, below, and lateral to him that pushback, undermine, go awry, etc. And not every president even has the ability to "set the tone" and channel these auxiliary forces.
The question is, if Biden isn't "running the show," who is? The notion that this will be the "radical Left" in any form is simply too much to be believed. The whole point of Joe Biden was for the Democratic donors to discipline the base.
That the donors were able to suppress the socialist, anti-Zionist, and radical energies in the Democratic coalition by appealing to the Black vote in South Carolina via a quasi-racist White guy in his late 70s will be remembered as one of the great ironies of recent history.
The people "running the show"—"the producers," as it were—in a Biden administration will be similar to, if not exactly the same, as those in a Trump administration.
