10 Things More Scary Than Joe Biden
What’s more frightening than Joe Biden? How about a convicted felon or egomaniac who eagerly seeks revenge on or bullies his opponents, whether in the political realm or private citizens?
Here are ten things more scary than Joe Biden.
1. Project 2025
Project 2025 is a comprehensive plan to radically reshape the federal government. The Heritage Foundation’s 1,000-page handbook outlines steps to install political appointees aligned with conservative ideals. This plan would enable mass dismissals of federal workers and dismantle current government structures. The goal is to give the executive branch more power, flooding the government with conservatives and disrupting the existing balance of power.
This project aims to undo decades of federal policies and regulations. Project 2025 seeks to create a government that operates solely under conservative principles by placing ideologically aligned individuals in key positions. This would significantly alter how federal agencies function and impact the lives of all Americans.
Trump claims to have no knowledge of Project 2025. However, many of the personnel at Project 2025 are former Trump administration and campaign staff. Another big lie from Donald Trump.
2. Trump’s Use of Disinformation
Trump frequently used disinformation as a political tool, spreading false claims about election fraud, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other topics. His administration’s disinformation campaigns eroded public trust in institutions and contributed to political polarization. Additionally, his repeated attacks on the free press, calling journalists “enemies of the people,” further undermined the role of a free press in democracy.
Disinformation destabilizes society by creating confusion and mistrust among citizens. It impairs informed decision-making and weakens democratic processes. When leaders spread falsehoods, it damages the credibility of legitimate information sources and institutions, making it harder for the public to discern the truth.
3. Trump’s Immoral Behavior
Trump has a long history of questionable moral behavior. He faces numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, fraud, and unethical business practices. These allegations reflect a pattern of behavior that disregards legal and moral standards.
His actions raise serious concerns about his character and integrity. Trusting someone with such a track record with the presidency again is risky. It suggests a leader who prioritizes personal gain over ethical governance and public trust.
4. Trump’s Disregard for Democracy
Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results highlight his disregard for democratic processes. He actively spread false claims about election fraud and encouraged his supporters to disrupt the certification of the election results.
This behavior undermines the core principles of democracy. By refusing to accept the outcome of a free and fair election, Trump demonstrated a willingness to subvert the will of the people. Such actions threaten the stability and integrity of our democratic system.
5. Trump’s Bullying of Private Citizens
Trump used Twitter to target and harass private citizens, often inciting his followers to join in the harassment. His attacks were not limited to public figures but extended to individuals who criticized him or whom he perceived as enemies.
This behavior creates a culture of fear and intimidation. It shows a lack of respect for personal dignity and safety. The president’s use of social media to bully others sets a dangerous precedent and undermines civil discourse.
6. Trump’s Threats of Retribution
Trump has vowed “retribution” against his perceived enemies if re-elected in 2024. This rhetoric threatens the principles of justice and the rule of law. It turns political opponents into targets and creates fear and division.
Such threats are not characteristic of democratic leadership. They suggest a willingness to use the presidency’s power to settle personal scores, undermining fair and impartial governance.
7. Trump’s Crusade Against Women and LGBTQ+ Rights
Trump’s policies and statements have consistently rolled back protections for women and LGBTQ+ people. His administration sought to restrict reproductive rights and limit protections against discrimination for LGBTQ+ individuals.
These actions put vulnerable communities at greater risk and undermine efforts to achieve equality and justice for all citizens. Removing rights and protections is a significant step backward for social progress.
8. Trump’s Supreme Court Appointments
Trump’s appointments have significantly shifted the Supreme Court’s balance. These justices hold views that do not align with mainstream America. Their decisions will influence crucial issues for decades, including reproductive rights, healthcare, and civil liberties.
The long-term impact of these appointments is concerning. A more conservative Supreme Court could roll back protections and rights that many Americans rely on. This shift threatens to undermine progress on numerous fronts.
9. Trump’s Incitement of Violence
Trump’s role in the January 6th attack on the Capitol is a clear example of his incitement to violence. His refusal to accept election results and encouragement of his supporters led to a deadly insurrection. This behavior is dangerous and irresponsible.
Inciting violence against our democratic institutions is a severe threat. It shows a willingness to undermine the rule of law and democratic processes for personal gain. This is not the behavior expected from a leader of a democratic nation.
10. Trump’s Promotion of Racism and Antisemitism
Trump’s rhetoric has promoted racism and antisemitism. This has contributed to tragedies like the El Paso massacre on August 3, 2019. His words have real and dangerous consequences for minority communities. Donald Trump has a long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2020.
Promoting hatred and division is irresponsible and dangerous. It undermines the fabric of our society and fosters violence. Leaders should work to unite, not divide, the nation.

Lloyd Doggett. Time for him to step down?
Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving Texas congressman, recently called for Biden to step aside, which is counterproductive. His constituents don’t seem to hear from him enough, especially regarding Texas’ far-right policies. Is it time for Doggett to step down instead?
Supporting Biden means supporting a leader who works across the aisle for the benefit of all Americans. It’s too late to vet and choose a new political candidate, but it’s not too late to support effective leadership.
