I was recently listening to a podcast where they were speculating that the people who truly rule the world are getting more bold and are f**king with us at this point in regards to the stuff that Biden releases to the public. Based on what I have seen of Biden, I don't think even his most ardent supporters (are there any?) can possibly think that this guy is coming up with these ideas on his own but is rather being lead to do and say the things that he does by a team of overlords who put words and actions in front of him and just ensure that he does them.
This latest thing where he, and of course the ravenous media, made a very big deal about not allowing any Christian imagery during the White House Easter egg decoration that is entirely for publicity anyway, and stating that the day would be something else entirely.

The media response to this was very predictable as far as conservative media is concerned. Obviously the conservative media, as well as most conservatives were outraged about this but here's the thing... all of those people already hated Biden and were never going to support him anyway, no matter what he did. Sure, you could look at this as being a novel opportunity for Biden to perhaps win over some middle-of-the-road independents who happen to be Christian but honestly, I doubt there are very many of those out there at all.
The liberal media is trying their best to defend Biden, although they are doing so in a very quiet way. According to CNN and others, the "Transgender Day of Visibility" is something that has been "celebrated" on March 31st every year since 2009 whereas the date of Easter changes depending on the calendar. While this is in fact true, maybe the White House would have been better off "forgetting" to mention it this year. Someone pointed out that while less than 1% of the US population is trans or identifying as something near that, nearly 65% of the US population is Christian. Biden's staff were no doubt informed of the potential ramifications of doing something like this but they decided to do it anyway.
This is why I think the elites of the world are just messing with us at this point. You don't have the be in a high-level government position to realize that celebrating anything other than Easter on Easter Sunday would be frowned upon by a lot of people.
CNN and other liberal outlets tried their best to not only protect Biden by suggesting that this is something that happens every year, but they also attempted to conceal the fact that while this is in fact another stupid holiday that has existed since 2009, Biden is the very first President to make a Presidential proclamation recognizing the date. It's just a made up holiday anyway, so what harm does it do? Well, if you are a politician, quite a lot actually. A politician does a great deal of pandering to anyone and this has become more insane as time goes by. However, even Biden in his near brain-dead state might have thought that it might not be the best idea to potentially piss off 65% of the country.
The conservative media is spending entirely too much time talking about this, and the liberal media is featuring Senators and members of Congress berating one another going so far as to gaslight and suggest that anyone that finds this abhorrent must therefore think that transgenders are abhorrent. While I would imagine that this is true for most conservative politicians that is still a bit of a stretch. It's like suggesting that anyone that is pro-choice hates babies. It's a false equivalency.
One thing that I fear is that if a gay or transgender day of recognition happened to fall on an important Muslim holiday, that the White House and everyone else wouldn't touch that topic and why do you suppose that is?
Obviously the media is overreacting to this because they overreact to everything. Panic sells unfortunately. However, there is a good chance that this might actually piss off some liberal Christians, especially minorities, that Biden did this. One thing that the conservative media is falsely blowing up is the fact that religious imagery wasn't banned by Biden, it has not been allowed for nearly 50 years for any faith, not just Christianity. Well, that is what the rulebooks say anyway but what to rulebooks mean anymore?
I think at this point that almost everyone's minds are made up and it was always going to be a Trump vs. Not Trump. It doesn't really matter who is running against him, Joe could do much worse than this and the people that absolutely hate Trump are still going to vote for Biden. This is what elections have become in USA and if anything good can be said at this point I believe it can't really get any dumber than it is in 2024. Perhaps in 2028 we will have a sane election. Time will tell.
While I think it's still much ado about nothing, it's worth noting that the Spanish handle didn't mention it at all...
