    No problem and thanks, but ....:cool:

    I don't see anything that backs your claim that "he labels everyone MAGA"

    Maybe you missed his speech saying he wanted to unite the country. He did a bang up job.

    Did you listen to the speech? He clearly stated that he was not referring to all pubs.

    He was a private citizen. He was a candidate. He called for peaceful protesting. I can’t help it if that shatters your understanding. What would you like him to do beyond that? What did Trump do? Just rhetoric.

    If you believe it's the movement then why tie it to former President Trump as that movement is going to continue with or without him.

    Earlier posts got deleted, so it is renumbered, they quoted several passages where Biden was explaining who he considered MAGA Republicans.

    I still believe Biden was trying to defend core institutions of the nation, but I’ll give a nod to those who see the speech as divisive too. I think Biden made a mistake by trying to redefine a word that defines a political group and then bashing that newly defined group by using the same word.

    I can clearly see that Biden gave a new definition of MAGA, but many people already identify with that term, so there is almost no way they weren’t going to feel attacked with that language.

    A perfect analogy is hard to conjure, but imagine Trump gave a speech wherein he defined “pro-choice” as those that endorse abortion for convenience and defend the practice of abortions after 8 months. Then for the rest of the speech, he talked about the “pro-choice people” place no value on human life and are the biggest of any threat to our country. I hope it would be obvious that it would be hard for a regular pro-choice person to get behind this speech, even if they abhor abortion for convenience.

    I can't speak with for the other poster but duchen you'll never get an apology from me for telling the truth. Not even remotely going to apologize and I'll keep doing it. The SS would have been proud of Biden last night. Having military behind him is just like Hitler and should never be used in a speech by a President. That wasn't a speech by a President, it was a speech by a Dictator and duchen I don't care how you feel at all about it.

    The color behind Biden was essentially blood red and he had the military there like he was going to start the arrests last night. If that's not like a Dictator I don't know what is. Might as well. If you can't see that then there's nothing we'll agree on. At least Biden should've had a neutral blue background.

    What part of the speech should non-MAGA individuals take comfort in? Where was there any hope?

    You'll never understand why those of us with MAGA are furious with the speech last night. I just want to work and earn money to support myself and my family and be left alone by the iron fist of the Government. According to Biden last night that makes me and a lot of Americans a threat to Democracy.

    Should I even remind you that this country's birth was founded on an Insurrection?

    I'm glad you're offended, you need to wake up. But you have to find comedy in a Jewish person supporting someone who desperately wants to and is going to try to be Hitler.

    You meme means nothing. It's fine to not like Biden, to oppose his policies, to even make fun of him. Its not fine to post nonsense, otherwise known as bullshit.

    Works for me, I am not familiar with your posts, but I will be looking for them. I certainly don’t believe that I am capable of restoring sanity to people. As my dad used to say, “you can’t explain a nut to a nut.”
