To be fair about the Republican criticism of Biden, there’s no real Republican Party line on anything, and hasn’t been for ages. The GOP is merely a coalescence of factions opposed to Democratic political, cultural, and social hegemony. That’s why the house of cards jerry-rigged by a small coterie of Reaganite intellectuals collapsed so quickly when Trump took over the Party; they had no ideology, and neither did he. Now, everyone from segretarians like Rand Paul, Evangelical “Constitutional Conservatives” like Ted “Zodiac” Cruz, and old line “Establishment” Republicans are in thrall to the Orange One, and can’t figure out a way to extricate themselves.
