I haven't been paying much attention to the Hunter Biden saga, because it pretty clearly looked like bullshit from the jump. Biden fils is an addict and his behavior has often been problematic because of that. As many others have said, the inquisition of Hunter Biden has convinced me not to vote for him. His father's dedication to his troubled son has improved my opinion of Joe.
Yesterday, Hunter appeared before the clown show that is the House GOP. His answers were credible, specific and would have resolved an honest inquiry, especially in conjunction with the revelations that most of their "dirt" on Hunter came from Russian sources.
However, I also realize that the lockstep nature of the Right means that the screeching nonsense from Russian assets like Gaetz and Comer, plus the rank idiocy of most House GOP members will be imbibed fully and completely assimilated by our Fox-addled fellow citizens.
I'm not 100% sure how representative democracy can survive a post-factual, post-truth landscape. Destroying the very idea of facts and truth is the first step towards authoritarianism and it sure seems like we are on our way.
