    So you are all saying he didn’t use fascism in his speech? Because I’m a bit floored right now

    Then you saw that part where he said he isn't saying all republicans, or even the majority... just the MAGA republicans who are pushing or swallowing the hate and lies.

    Yep, he gave a primetime speech about how maga people who like trump are a huge threat to the country but evidently there isn't very many of them out there which kind of begs the question just what in the hell was the point of the speech if maga folks are as scarce as hens teeth even though they evidently are now totally in charge of the pub party? :emoji_joy:

    Totally agree. It’s just typically 100:1 ratio

    Where did he say there weren't very many of them.

    In your estimable opinion, how many is too many?

    Functional? Yea. That’s a balanced assessment from someone criticizing balance.

    OPINION PIECE!
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...hiladelphia-trump-maga-republicans-democracy/

    “Republicans are in a rage over President Biden’s speech in Philadelphia, in which he flatly declared that the American democratic experiment is in serious danger due to Donald Trump and the Republicans who remain allied with his political project.


    “So here’s a question for those Republicans: What exactly in Biden’s speech was wrong? 
Many objections have been general: Republicans say his speech disparaged millions, that it was angry, or divisive, or political, or hateful, or depicted Republicans as the enemy.

    “Let’s take Biden’s most fundamental claim about the MAGA-fied GOP and democracy:
 Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.
 Biden elaborated:
 MAGA republicans [not all republicans] do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election.
 Some Republicans insist they do respect the Constitution and the rule of law.

    “The category of “MAGA Republicans” is vague. But we can certainly say a whole lot of them — including members of Congress — were largely supportive of Trump’s effort as president to overturn his election loss.
 That MAGA coup attempt included extraordinarily corrupt pressure on many government actors, including law enforcement, which flouted the rule of law on its face. It involved pressure on Vice President Mike Pence to violate his constitutional duty. Pence himself said he was being asked to betray basic tenets of constitutional democracy.”

    Did some googling... looks like you are referring to a remark he made at a democratic reception a few days ago.
