I couldn't remember if Sowell was alive or dead. I figured he had to be dead but I forgot the simple maxium that some ghouls never die. He's alive and 96. I had a super-quickie look at his Wikipedia page. I found something good.

Joe Biden presidential nomination

In 2020, Sowell wrote that if the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, it could signal a point of no return for the United States, a tipping point akin to the fall of the Roman Empire. In an interview in July 2020, he stated, "the Roman Empire overcame many problems in its long history, but eventually it reached a point where it could no longer continue, and much of that was from within, not just the barbarians attacking from outside."

Sowell wrote that if Biden became president, the Democratic Party would have an enormous amount of control over the nation, and if this happened, they could twin with the "radical left" and ideas such as defunding the police could come to fruition.

Forcefully "The Democrats will defund every police department in America!"

"There are a some problems with that - honey."

Meekly "There are?"

"This isn't the State of the Union. You were practicing that earlier. I'm your wife, Jill and we're in the bedroom and you're wearing your pjs."

"It's not? I was? You are? We are? I am?"

"Yes! And you remembered five things at once! Great! But you also got a little confused. It's double fund not defund."

"Oh, But I am the president - right?"

"Yes. Should I sing the Happy Birthday, Mr. President song?"

"The what?"

"Just get into bed, Joe."

"Yes, dear."

For exactly zero of the reasons he stated though. Chuds love to imagine their cowardly lib opponents are some kind of mastermind network of communist billionaires trying to destroy amerikkka from within.

It's very much not that.

Oh I was being 100% sarcastic, Sowell couldn't predict if the sun will rise tomorrow
