In 2021, Joe Biden was elected...

Americans were then set to witness a great experiment. For the first time in their lives, a truly radical socialist program would supposedly fundamentally transform the way America dealt with the border, immigration, the economy, race relations, foreign policy, energy, law enforcement, crime, education, and social questions such as religion, gender, abortion, and schooling...

Ostensibly, America was to be reset financially, economically, socially, culturally, militarily, and politically. The nation would be arbitrarily divided into oppressors and oppressed...

Now, as we enter the fourth year of the great experiment, America is $35 trillion in debt, borrowing $1 trillion every 100 days. Home mortgages are at 7 percent. Key prices for food, insurance, rent, and fuels are 30-40 percent higher than when Biden entered office.

... Racial relations are the worst in a half-century. The military is in virtual receivership...

... Biden administration is furiously trying to find a way to release more of its hated oil and natural gas on the world market. It stopped refilling the strategic petroleum reserve that it had earlier drained to lower gas prices before the 2022 midterms...

... it now realizes that its green agenda on its watch will wreck the United States economy and throw the left out of power...

Biden fulfilled his agenda of getting 10 million illegal aliens into the United States by destroying the southern border. The point was to swarm America with poor, unaudited migrants... all supposedly now loyal to their entitlement benefactors...

Long term, the 10 million will recalibrate congressional districts to favor neo-socialist agendas... Biden knows destroying the border will ruin America for generations to come...

Biden's foreign policy is also in ruins. Biden destroyed deterrence...

After spiking the prices of key food staples, insurance, fuel, and interest rates... [and] the 30-40 percent higher food prices...

The common denominator for these disasters is the embrace of left-wing "theory."

Expect instead nonstop distraction as the left beats the January 6 horse to death, calls for abortion on demand, and waits for its underling judges, prosecutors, and juries to jail or bankrupt Trump...

In other words, the long-awaited Great Fundamental Transformation finally got its moment, crashed, and now has torched the nation - middle-class Americans most of all.
