After Biden dropped out, the gaslighting political propaganda machine has tried to rehabilitate Kamala's image from that of a detested and isolated liability to George Washington, Arya Stark, and Joan of Abortion Arc.

What do Trump's would-be assassin and Nashville's murderous trans woman have in common? And where has the coverage gone?

Some positions, like the Secret Service and President, demand merit-based hiring not "diversity" quotas. We're finally paying the price.

Can constant exposure to propaganda lead to a twisted form of tolerance, changing the way individuals perceive, react to, and accept factual information? If so, what happens when that trust completely, and inevitably breaks down?

Also: DEI's Trojan Horse, Addicted to Chaos

In this sobering episode, Todd digs into these historic nine days, beginning with the rapidly decaying social landscape following the assassination attempt on Trump, the media's telling reaction, the lack of real information about the shooter and his motives, and trial by rhetorical combat disguised as public "discourse."

Recorded just 12-hours after Joe Biden's long overdue withdrawal from the presidential race, and the rapid endorsement of his DEI poster girl, he then revisits the folly of continuing Unity Via Division as a political tactic in a dangerously divided nation.

Also: the enduring power of patriotism versus Utopian socialist fantasy and how both technology and ignoring human nature is deepening the divide. It's still, and always has been, the people.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Escape in the Cave podcast, #139, recorded on July 1st, 2024. This episode dives into the chaotic aftermath of Biden's disturbing performance.

Todd dissects Biden's decline by comparing his sharpness in the 2012 VP debate against Paul Ryan to his recent ineptitude then raises critical questions about Biden's fitness for office, especially given the stark decline in his mental acuity just over the last couple of years. The discussion extends to the Democratic Party's responsibility and their handling of Biden's candidacy, emphasizing the critical need for a viable alternative rather than .

Todd also explores the media's reaction in the wake of Biden's exposure, particularly CNN's panel, which starkly contrasted previous defenses of Biden. The episode also touches upon potential replacement candidates like Kamala "Of Color" Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom, specifically criticizing Kamala Harris, reflecting on her past primary embarrassment and her suitability as Biden's successor as a DEI Pledge appointee.

The episode concludes with a reflection on the state of American politics and the supposed "existential threat" posed by Donald Trump, as perceived by the Democratic Party and its media. How can anyone take their democratic doomsday claims seriously if Biden remains their opposition candidate?
