> [@CHealy7](#): > > So, am I alone in believing that we may be watching the death throes of an American presidency? Indeed I was on Jan 6, 2021. But the attempted coup failed, the orange turd was expelled on the 20th and after fumigating the place, the Biden’s moved into the White House. Whether we can hold it together into 2024? Who knows. But from what I am seeing the red voting base is faring very badly in the current Delta Surge. ---

> [@thorny\_locust](#): > > So the only reasonable conclusion I can come to is that they must mean that they’re stunned at the fact Biden’s not at 99% approval in the polls, because they think Biden’s doing everything right. I’ve never thought about that angle. Except for the “death throes” part, or the “slow motion train-wreck”, or claiming that Biden is “toast”. He’s also predicting that he will blow up America like the Challenger. So I’m calling that unlikely. ---

The Slow Motion Train Wreck, is the final throes of the full on Train Wreck Biden inherited from the previous administration. It’s slowing down because Biden is trying to stop it, but the opposing side still has too much power and is trying to keep their momentum.
