Right-wing conspiracy theories are plaguing conservative and Republican discourse. One of the longest-running theories involves President Joe Biden being replaced at the last minute in a political switcheroo. It’s an oft-repeated fantasy that has zero chance of coming to fruition. Short of any legitimate health emergencies, or death, Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. It’s time everyone stops concocting scenarios in which this is not the case.
The most recent Biden-replacement tinfoil hat delusion comes after the details of the 2024 presidential debates were finalized Wednesday. An article in Townhall.com suggested that the “great Biden replacement switcheroo” still had a slight chance to happen. It all depends on how Biden performs in the debates.
“If Biden soils the sheets in a June debate, that gives Democrats plenty of time to find a new nominee before their convention in August,” the article reads. “If Biden drops out before being officially nominated there is no need for lawsuits to change ballots, it’s all nice and clean.”
It doesn’t take a soothsayer or political genius to know that Biden is not going to perform well in the debates. He has always struggled in this area even when he was operating with significantly better cognitive functions and not repeatedly showing signs of mental decline. Biden struggled to film his social media piece announcing the debate. He struggles daily with stating simple sentences despite often being aided by a teleprompter. Short of wearing a hidden earpiece telling him what to say, Biden is going to “soil the sheets.”
But that still doesn’t mean he is going to be replaced.

As mentioned above, short of Biden suffering from serious health problems, he will be the nominee. Nothing like the scenario proposed above has even the slightest chance of happening. It’s a ridiculous notion and not at all grounded in reality. Biden is the nominee. It’s done. It’s all but official. Anyone envisioning otherwise is engaging in political onanism.
These conspiracy theories accomplish nothing. They are fanciful myths that do not address the troubling realities plaguing the nation. The Right needs to start being serious instead of engaging in senseless daydreaming. Biden is going to be the 2024 Democratic nominee for the presidential election. From this point forward, anyone who says anything differently should be immediately disqualified from discussing politics and not at all taken seriously.
