    There are those who voted for Trump because they vote Republican or they really didn't like Biden. I consider them different than those who seem to wholeheartedly and devotedly follow Trump.
    Now, can you answer my question? Do you think Biden was talking about all Republicans or all those who voted for Trump?

    Actually if a person attends a neo-Nazi rally such as Charlottesville on the “pro-Nazi” side that actually does say something about them. It tells me that person is a neo-Nazi or sympathetic to that ideology. What is the counter-point to their presence at a neo-Nazi rally? Ignorance? Naïveté?

    Of course I do. Former President ran on the statement MAGA Make America Great Again he owns it and all voters who voted for him are considered MAGA not BBB. As is anyone who disagrees with President Biden and his administration is labeled MAGA from the get go. All you have to do is read the comments on this board.

    Do you think the election was stolen from Trump? Do you want him to be the party's nominee again in 2024? Do you think he was a great President? Do you own any Trump flags? If the answers to any of these questions is yes, you might be a MAGA Republican.

    I don't think that's a fair characterization, at all. At least not for me as I noted earlier in the thread.

    Folks voted for trump over Biden for numerous reasons beyond what MAGA stands for. For example, I assume you voted for trump given your respectable conservative leanings. Have many people labeled you MAGA or discounted your opinions for being based on mere trump servitude? I know I haven't.

    Actually the counter-protestors are better in one measurable way. They aren’t Nazi’s!

    But I didn’t doubt a lot of those people are looking for trouble, just as the neo-Nazi’s are looking for trouble. The reality is if a Nazi rally is planned there will always be some type of counter-protest to that. If there is a conflict I will side with the “not Nazi’s” group 100% of the time. It’s a pretty easy call.

    I'm not holding my breath. Most of them are quite content with the MAGA movement, even if they don't like Trump's immaturity and lack of polish.

    The speech was actually given in Philly in front of Independence Hall.

    I don’t think so. I thought President Biden was quite clear that he wasn’t including all republicans, even those who voted for Trump. He was referring to those who participated in the Jan 6 trashing of the Capital, politicians passing laws restricting the right to vote, medical privacy rights, and those attacking law enforcement including the FBI.

    There are others on this board who certainly have. As for the MAGA slogan it had everything to do with the policies and vision of correcting the course of the nation.

    Does that mean we would be better off if 2020 election had turned out differently? We will never know but what is an absolute at this point is the track record of President Biden and the direction we are headed. Anyone who disagrees with his administration is labeled MAGA or terrorists (think mama bear) and put them on the list to be monitored by the DOJ. In the interim we will all have to wait until 2022 and 2024 to see how this shakes out.

    The conflict shouldn't occur at all is the point.

    Again, that's just not true and is bordering on a gross generalization.

    Even Biden pointed out that not all Republicans are MAGA and most Republicans disagree with Biden's administration.
