A recent incident involving The Washington Post, a known Biden-friendly newspaper, has inadvertently exposed a glaring inconsistency in President Biden’s supposed commitment to democracy. The newspaper, which has long been a vocal proponent of the idea that “democracy dies in darkness,” inadvertently revealed through a recent poll that the American public is no longer buying into this narrative.
For years, the Democrats and their allies in the media have framed presidential elections as a moral battleground between light and dark, good and evil. This simplistic dichotomy has been a key part of their messaging strategy, serving as a last-ditch effort to rally support. However, the latest data from The Washington Post itself indicates that this message is falling flat with the American people.

The poll conducted by The Washington Post paints a troubling picture for Biden and his supporters, as it suggests that the public is growing increasingly skeptical of the Democrats’ claims to be the guardians of democracy. This revelation is particularly damaging for Biden, whose presidency has been marked by a slew of controversies and challenges to his commitment to democratic values.
The irony of a Biden-friendly newspaper inadvertently undermining the President’s own narrative should not be lost on anyone. It serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of political messaging and the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on simplistic and polarizing rhetoric.
As the Biden administration continues to grapple with internal and external challenges, this latest misstep from The Washington Post serves as a timely reminder that political narratives are only as strong as the evidence backing them up. The American people are proving to be more discerning than the Democrats and their media allies would like to believe, and this could have significant implications for future elections.
