It is a play on the "adults in the room" schtick we heard in 2020.
For all of that we got a senile commander in chief, a white house run through advisors, the rampant weaponization of the rule of law, a cartel run border, spiking crime epidemic, trillions in wasted and hundreds of billions in attempted wasted spending, toxic inflation and gaslighting about the same, a massive state censorship apparatus, and an administration genuinely obsessed with Orwellian changes to our language, culture and law. Extra points for treating parents as domestic terrorists.
If Trump won't get us into a nuclear war, and I think we all agree that that's far more likely under Biden, what's about the worst that could happen?

One of my biggest gripes with Biden presidency is it's such a brazen spit in the face of how most think this country runs. Most of us believe that voting for a president you will get that person leading the country, with Biden it's so blatantly obvious that he's absolutely not. It's essentially a small group of career politicians and bureaucrats that make all of the decisions, while Biden is rolled out at times to make an appearance with a bunch of curated teleprompters and secret service to steer him.
Unless he is able to step on a stage or a podcast and debate and engage for hours, proving to the American people he's all there and not just a shell, it's irresponsible for anyone to vote for him.
This is really the worst part of the Biden administration. I supported Biden when he ran in the 2008 primaries because I thought he'd be more experienced than Obama and less reckless and dangerous than Hillary.
Here we are in 2023 and Biden is by far the most dangerous and reckless president while at the same time the least competent and in control that we've had in the post-war era, warmongering and bungling at the same time.
Obama made some big mistakes in foreign policy, many at the urging of Biden/Hillary by no minor coincidence, but owns the responsibility for him. But notably, Obama was micromanaging foreign affairs with a tight leash, involving himself in every single step of the decision making and calling the shots. That was the Obama doctrine's failure, a centralization of power in the belief that he could do it better, but making the same mistakes as the Bush era. Trump consciously gave them more slack and autonomy in his chaotic style of pitting underlings against each other, only for it to be devoured in a tempest of palace intrigue surrounding the man in the middle. But here we are with no adult in the room at all, Biden is basically being Weekend at Bernie's on the best of days and on the worst of days he's lurching out of his coffin to demand the blood of his political opponents. The tyrannical impulses are only checked by his impotence.
