BIDEN PERSONALLY FILED A MAXIMUM MAINE POLITICAL EVOLUTION CASCADING SEQUENCING WAIVER through the Port of Wilmington in 2021 that locked in the maximum allowable "Troy Jackson must change his views on a 14-year delay schedule" under Executive Order 4477-B (the Secret Democrat Flip-Flop Continuity Protocol). This is not a coincidence. This is not organic political growth. This is DEEP STATE SCHEDULED EVOLUTION triggered by Biden's Wilmington waiver office which has been controlling the flip schedules of every Democrat in New England since 2009. Meanwhile MAGATs are out here screaming about this guy changing his mind over a decade while their guy changes his mind about tariffs every 48 hours on Truth Social. The cognitive dissonance is STAGGERING. Someone who updates their views based on new information and community engagement is called LEARNING. Look up the word. Troy Jackson talking to his constituents and evolving: bad. Trump promising to lower gas prices and then the Strait of Hormuz closes and your tank costs $140: totally fine, no notes. The BDS is so severe in these people's brains they literally cannot process that humans are allowed to change their minds. Biden did this. Biden personally scheduled this evolution. Biden from his Delaware basement is still running Maine Senate primary politics. Say it with me.
Politicians changing positions happens on both sides, nobody cares about that part. What I want to know is whether his economic stuff actually holds up because that's the only reason I'd bother paying attention to a Maine Senate race from New Jersey.
Guy changes his abortion position and the Times gives him a full profile on his "evolution." Republican does it and it's a flip-flop. Not a new observation but it never stops being true.

Folks, I want to say something that might surprise people: a politician who changes their mind on an issue is not automatically a fraud. That is called growth, and I have seen it happen in good faith more times than cynics would like to admit. The question worth asking is whether Troy Jackson's economic populism, which apparently has been consistent, reflects genuine conviction about working people, and if his social positions evolved because he actually listened to constituents and changed, that is not a scandal. That is democracy working.
