If you don’t understand your enemy and their motivations, victory will elude you. Part of the reason Biden’s polls are so awful is that Democrats and their supporters don’t have a clue about what is driving Trump and his MAGA movement. The answer would shock many of them. Republican voters want the same thing as Democrats: a warrior.

White evangelicals went 84% for Trump in 2020, up from 77% in 2016 according to the Pew poll. If they thought about it, Democrats would realize it’s not odd at all. Liberals could sure use a warrior like Kennedy now.

Imagine a Joe Biden with many of the same qualities and flaws of men like Ted Kennedy and Donald Trump. A warrior for the Left? Progressives would love him.

Unfortunately, Biden isn’t enough of a warrior to justify turning a blind eye to his negatives. Tens of millions of Democratic voters will do just that this November, overlooking their candidate’s flaws, including his alarming mental decline.
