I don't normally talk about politics or religion on Nostr (or anywhere), but here's my take on the whole Biden Easter thing:

Bear in mind that I'm not American, and I have no skin in the game.

I'm also not a Trump guy.

It's a hokey ploy to direct attention towards him and his failing campaign. It's utteryly distasteful, divisive and not very bright, but hey look, it worked, everyone is talking about him, either in shock or disgust or with sycophantic ovation from the likes of Bluesky (I'm speculating).

I've talked about this kind of thing before on Nostr, all of these nonsense holidays, there are a million of them because it's low hanging fruit for a politician to 'mint' one of these 'such and such international whatever day' or 'week' or even 'month' and gain some political capital from the people that it appeals to, but it's a scam, there is no proof of work behind it.

Gain something for nothing, isn't that the instint of a career politician?

A lot of christians follow Trump. I'm not going to comment on the sociology of who follows Trump and why, but it's clear that Biden felt that by doing this hokey ploy, sure , he would attract some ire from whatever cristian voters he has perhaps, but that most of the cristians are Trump voters anyway, and so it was worth it to gain support from another group, the new orthodoxy, the NGO driven censorship obsessed neo-Marxist transhumanist anti-family bridgade, call them what you will, that's just my term for them, it's a little bit long, I might need to think of an appropriate abbreviation.

But then, we live in very confusing times , because Pope Francis is working hard to cosy up to the aforementioned group, in what I percieve as an attempt to bootstrap the Catholic church to the political power that those groups represent in direct violation of the churches own teachings, which is quite honestly unforgivable.

But in summary, the Biden thing, it's cheap it's hokey, it's quintessential modern American politics, what more can you say about it?
