The elite bi-coastal 10 day Biden bashing cruise had empty cabins. As I expected, Biden's poll numbers are not only steady, but up, notwithstanding, ten days of liberal media, and the female young turks of the party, saying, "Biden's conduct may not be disqualifying, but..."
Biden's hugging was not only not sexual, but not gender based. He hugs young, and old, men and women. This was acknowledged, but then ignored by his critics. The issue is not do women have a right to feel comfortable, but do we all have a guaranteed right to personal comfort? Except for a few millennials ensconced in a safe space, we all know the answer is a resounding, no.
When a conversation at the next table in a restaurant reaches hockey announcer decibels, I am uncomfortable. I have options. I can move, I can say something, or I can suck it up. What I cannot do is take a video, and then go to their place of employment and try to get them fired. Can we not take responsibility for our own personal comfort, and make our own way?
For the elite, the final straw was Biden having the audacity to joke about the issue, when he was grabbed by a union leader. Without humor as a social lubricant, society grinds to a halt. As the fringe of the Me Too Movement scowled, America smiled.
If a lesson is to be drawn from Biden, look not to his public displays of affection, but to his private affection. His marriage is the exemplar of mutual respect and accomplishment.
