   As new polling shows a majority of Americans believe President   
   Biden is "incompetent" amid a struggling economy and spiking   
   inflation, independent journalist Glenn Greenwald said Monday   
   the left and the mainstream media are gearing up to double down   
   on their blame game.   
      
   Greenwald referenced 2016 - when Democrats struggled to grapple   
   with Hillary Clinton's upset loss to Donald Trump - saying that   
   instead of seeking introspect on to constructively campaign in   
   future elections, the left sought to blame everyone from Green   
   Party nominee Jill Stein to Russia to the American people for   
   their failure.   
      
   "The Democrats lost an election they never expected to lose.   
   They basically lost to a reality TV show host when Hillary   
   Clinton had all the backing of the establishment in the world.   
   And instead of asking, what is it about our ideology that ruled   
   the country for eight years, that drove people away from us into   
   Donald Trump's arms, they instead decided they were going to   
   blame everybody else," he said.   
      
   With spiking commodity prices, an energy crisis and war abroad,   
   Democrats are again using the same playbook in the November   
   midterms, Greenwald said.   
      
   "The Democrats simply replaced Trump with the same ideology they   
   governed with for 8 years under Obama that caused people to run   
   away from them as fast as they could," he said. "And now that   
   people are doing that again, instead of asking ‘why is that   
   happening’ they're getting poised to blame the electorate for   
   being stupid -- for thinking the economy's bad when it's   
   actually good."   
      
   "And ultimately they'll just say there were ‘too racist’ to vote   
   for Democrats."   
      
   Greenwald said the media is "priming" people to believe the   
   perceived slump the country is in is "because you're too dumb to   
   understand your own lives."   
      
   If those Americans vote for the GOP, he predicted, the blame   
   will again be on them "because either you don't care about   
   racism or you don't care about fascism."   
      
   Greenwald said he did not think the electorate would be   
   persuaded by Democrat's arguments when they're "looking at the   
   reality of their own lives."
