    Oh my only a minuscule portion of the population he was referring to? I suggest you read or listen to his speech. I'll admit he referenced Jan 6 and more. President Biden talks of the rule law and ignores his own hypocrisy. He talks of the constitution and ignores his own disregard.

    In short this speech was nothing more than a lame attempt at taking the American population to the woodshed.

    Yes shades of good people and bad people as I stated earlier. Yet he labels everyone MAGA and lumps all MAGA into supporting his claims of malfeasance.

    I didn’t see any of that. Perhaps you could give me some examples?

    So when Biden said:
    You interpret that as "he labels everyone MAGA?"

    And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people.
    .......
    American democracy only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in this chamber behind me, only if we respect our legitimate political differences.
    .......
    MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies –- lies told for profit and power.
    .......
    The MAGA Republicans believe that for them to succeed, everyone else has to fail. They believe America — not like I believe about America.

    He even said the majority of republicans aren’t MAGA republicans so they’re just hearing what they want to hear and projecting fear, as always. MAGA rubes need a permanent safe place, what a bunch of whiny snowflakes who don’t like being called out for what they are. It’s okay for them to call you out and call you names if they don’t like you, but don’t you dare fight back, or they’ll whine and threaten violence. Clowns.

    As he gets further into his speech it becomes evident.

    I'd love for you to list examples of his disregard of the Constitution compared to presidential norms.

    You're changing my opinion of you with every post. Wow.

    And again shades of good and bad as I stated earlier. The term MAGA is all inclusive which is what most fail to realize. If you want to refer to people as former Predient Trump acolytes it would be a different story.

    Now exactly why would that be appropriate? The answer is simple people still believe in the policies of MAGA and that is what President Biden is railing against. Others on this board have tried to make that point time and again yet it hasn't sunk in.

    Everything I've talked about is reference to President Biden's speech or has that escaped you.
    A disregard for the constitution concerning property rights and rent, a disregard for the constitution concerning student loans is a start.

    I will agree that the colors should have been different but will not agree that the color was selected with some sinister intent. The content of the speech is much mor eimportant than the optics and the content was not hitleresque in any way, shape, or form. Calling for cooperation, respect for the constitution, rule of law, etc and inclusion working together is not hitleresque

    Of course not but President Biden certainly does. So much so in fact that his entire administration was and is devoted to rooting out former President Trump supporters.
