Your words are powerless to make Biden not president.

That is true. He's not president because he wasn't elected.

You make your own government with your own president?

No. But neither do the criminals who ran this scam.

That's treason, buddy, and the US government, with Biden at the helm, will crush you with force.

I'm sure that would gratify you immensely, but you saying "treason" doesn't make anything I've done treasonous. You have the same solipsistic and delusional relationship with reality that is the foundation for all totalitarian politics.

Words aren't reality, reality is reality.

Exactly. You came around quickly.

And the word "leg" does not have any more meaning that what we ascribe to it. If we decide that a tail is also a "leg" in addition to the body parts we already call "legs", then a calf has five legs. We can even decide trannies are "women", but that doesn't change that they biologically are not.

A tail is not a leg. It does not have the purpose of a leg. If the cow loses a leg, the tail cannot serve the function of a leg.

We call legs "legs" and a tail a "tail" because legs do leg things (hold the calf's weight, make the calf move) that a tail cannot do, just as the tail has a purpose (keep the flies away from the business end) that legs cannot do.

Legs have a leg structure that serve the leg purpose. Likewise tails. We observe that legs have a similar structure and purpose as legs in other mammals, yet structure and purpose are both unique to the unique needs of the calf and the adult livestock it will one day become if it's not eaten before then.

No semantics can make a leg a tail. No power can make a leg a tail, though the power of a totalitarian state can (and constantly does) force all of society to pretend that reality is other than what it is.

This brings me to Joe Biden. He does not fit the definition of a president in any way. He was not elected president. He does not, in any practical sense, exercise the powers or fulfill the duties of a president. He has the trappings of the presidency foisted on him for the benefit of the cameras and all the powers of the state are being deployed to force everyone to pretend he's the president. But he's still not.

Language is subject to reality. Not the other way around.

So both my analogy and Lincoln's make you very emotional and angry. So let's try Orwell.

What is 2+2?
