The Hunter Biden saga illuminates the Biden family's rapacious corruption, and even worse, the corruption of federal agencies to protect them. Also, it's further evidence that we must shatter the elite bubble and force them to live in the America they made for the rest of us.
Of COURSE the corruption angle is huge, arguably the story of the century in American politics. Socialists claim they can create an all-knowing mega-government run by honest, selfless geniuses - but what they always deliver is a corrupt sewer state run by greedy mediocrities.
There are no big, honest governments, and every one of the many, many embarrassing tales of mega-corruption must be spotlighted to keep proving it, over and over again. The most important goal of civic reform today is shattering the pernicious illusion of Honest Big Government.
Hunter Biden is an absolutely perfect example of what socialism actually delivers: a privileged elite of boundless greed and degenerate morality, milking cash out of the trillion-dollar state by peddling influence and selling protection, insulated from all legal consequences.
Of COURSE that corruption slid easily into outright fascism over the past generation. It was only a matter of time before the mega-State began using its corporate Little Partners to skirt the Constitution and exert compulsive force against the people.
Big Biz had long been a paying customer for political corruption. Under fascism, Big Biz becomes a junior partner instead of just a customer. It gets drafted into the ruling Party's political crusades. Hunter's brand of influence peddling and racketeering always ends that way.
And Hunter is the poster boy for elite privilege, giddily committing countless crimes that would put any middle or lower-class American behind bars. The entire machinery of the Justice Department has been perverted to protect him. His plea deal should touch off a revolution.
One of the crimes our politicized "justice" system is trying to give Hunter a perpetual free pass for is a gun crime - the subject of countless rants by his senile father, who fantasizes in public about murdering Americans with military weapons if they resist his demands.
Joe can't control himself when he starts blubbering about sending F-16s to bomb your family if you refuse to give up your guns - but Hunter gets to violate every gun law he pleases, and federal agencies conspire to HELP HIM GET AWAY WITH IT.
Likewise with tax law, where Huntie gets to skate on multi-million dollar tax cheating, but you Little People will be hunted down by armies of new IRS agents for penny-ante mistakes - and that same IRS just keeps leaking confidential data on the ruling Party's political enemies.
Hunter is a grotesque, almost cartoonish, but very real example of how the ruling Party elite are completely insulated from the world they're forcing on the rest of us. This isn't just outrageous - it's DANGEROUS. It's ruining lives and killing people, and it will get worse.
Today the Party's extremists are talking about shutting down agriculture in the name of global warming. They'll kill countless people and destroy the American way of life without a second thought, because they know THEY will eat well, and they won't be eating bugs.
They've already unleashed killer crime waves on YOU, because they know THEY have armed protection and privileged homes. They wrecked the economy with foolish policies because they know THEY will be taken care of. This process is accelerating, and Hunter is a major milestone.
We urgently need to shatter elite privilege, force them to live in the same world as we do, and make them understand that not even the silver-spoon sons of corrupt political dynasties get to live above the law anymore. Nothing less will make the elite receptive to reform. /end

We've been subjected to a lot of outrageous political double standards, but the one that says Democrats can deny - and even actively undermine - elections all they want, but Republicans go to jail for doing the same, might just be the one that tears the Republic apart.
It is very dangerous to teach a large number of people that elections are a joke and the political system is permanently rigged against them. The double standard on "election denial" is broadcasting that message with painful intensity. It's almost gleeful mockery of democracy.
There's basically nothing the Left can't do to question, challenge, and undermine elections. Much of what Trump just got indicted for was a matter of widespread and open discussion on the Left after 2016. No threat of criminalizing such talk was made.

The more we learn about the Biden family, the more they look like the crappy seventh season of "The Sopranos" nobody wanted.
Tonight on Season 7 of the Sopranos: Tony slips further into senile dementia and falls asleep while taking to a fellow boss, Carmela insists everyone call her a doctor, AJ runs around the White House sobbing that he wants his bag of coke back, Paulie gets slapped around in China
Silvo tells Tony he's gotta do something about his out-of-control son. "We got lucky this time, skip, our people in the FBI came through with a tipoff, but now we got these c***s****ing Republicans sniffin' around."

The Left is in an interesting place with Muslims right now. They really didn't expect Muslims to stand so firmly against the groomers. After their experiences with Christians and Jews over the past 50 years, the Left didn't think anyone was willing to fight for their beliefs.
One reason Roe v. Wade was such a landmark in the radicalization of our elite culture was that it showed left-wingers they could browbeat religious people out of their beliefs. Even the most radical pro-abortion leaders were not excommunicated. Religious leaders compromised.
That was a powerful lesson for the lefty radicals. Notice that THEY don't hesitate to use their own version of excommunication against anyone who blasphemes against THEIR weird religion. That's basically what "cancel culture" is.

Every ruling elite will inevitably conclude that authoritarianism is the only reasonable strategy for accomplishing its urgent and morally unimpeachable goals. Every last one of them will decide authoritarian government is the only way to preserve certain "key freedoms."
Speech can only be "free" under a regime of heavy censorship to protect the people from "disinformation." Elections must be "fortified" to keep citizens from making "bad choices." Fairness and equity require centralized government and endless wealth redistribution. On and on.
The elite see remorseless logic in the slide toward authoritarianism. After all, power is useless without obedience. Every ruling class realizes disobedience can only be minimized by politicizing every aspect of life, and putting some reserves of power beyond public control.

One reason Juneteenth isn't catching on organically with the general public is that it's obviously a politicized partisan "holiday," not a celebration where all Americans are invited to join hands and rejoice in a great achievement. That's what it should be, but it isn't.
The rest of our political culture loudly insists every day that no "victory" has been won against slavery or racism. We're told they are the founding sins of America, for which there will never be atonement or forgiveness. We're told "white supremacy" remains a systemic problem.
If anything, our hysterical racial grievance industry and the ruling Democrat Party say racism and white supremacy are getting WORSE. We're all supposed to feel perpetually guilty and submissive to endless demands for reparations. So what great victory does Juneteenth celebrate?

The Left believes it has enough raw political and corporate power to force its agenda on the public despite these supermajority opposition numbers.

The Right usually backs down from 40% opposition, while the Left makes plans to crush 70% opposition with pure force.
Remember that the objective of totalitarianism is to make the majority FEEL like a helpless minority - surrounded at every turn by the ideology of the totalitarian Party, unable to escape political messages in any corner of daily life. The onslaught of politics is unending.
People who are surrounded tend to assume they are also outnumbered. If the ideology of the Party is everywhere - blasted through every screen and speaker, scrawled on every sheet of paper, infused into every food and beverage - dissidents naturally feel atomized and isolated.
