why hasn’t Biden visited the border? right wing talking heads can’t stop asking this question. the most recent example is this Reaction to Joe Biden NEVER Having Visited the US/Mexico Border idiot podcaster Patrick Bet-David who looks like he wants to be the next Joe Rogan. ok, so my question is, have you, Patrick Bet-David been to the border? to be honest, I doubt it, because if he had been to the border he would know that the border isn’t a monolithic space, but rather a fairly deverse space. Brownsville and east of it is very different from McAllen, which again is totally different from the Big Bend area, which again is a different planet from the El Paso area, which again is totally different from the Nogals border, which by itself couldn’t be more different from the area just east of Calexico, and which by itself couldn’t be any more different from the border just south of San Diego at Tijuana. how do i know? well i drove along the border from the Gulf to the Pacific, and if that trip tought me one thing, it was that there are many borders across the southern border. well, the trip also tought me that anyone who makes it across that border must be desperate and should be treated with dignity and compassion rather than with the disgusting racism Rogan, Bet-David, and their Fox News friends treat them. if you want to see the many facets of the border feel free to take a look at them here: Along the Southern Boreder now the more important question though is why does it matter? Biden would not be able to make any smarter decision on this issue by having been there. but if Bet-David, Rogan, and the like think it is so important to have been to the border in order to understand it, well considering all the time they spend spreading ignorance around topics like Covid, shouldn’t they have been to an ICU? after all how are they able to talk about this without having been to an ICU? have they seen one of the make shift morgues in person? if not, they should shut their mouths and stop talking about Covid. at the end of the day people like Rogan or Bet-David don’t care about the issues, they care about clicks and making money and they know that by catering to idiots they can make a quick buck.
the stupidity of asking why Biden hasn't visited the border
