    Agreed. Racism and regressivism bind those movements together.

    Well that escalated quickly. Biden didn’t call for anything other that rejecting the maga argument.

    Trump speech on the 4th 2 years ago or at Mount Rushmore 2 years ago was filled with comments about the radical left trying to tear down and destroy this country.

    At least Biden didn’t gas the square and march through it with his military leader and a bible.

    That is why the Hitler comparisons are made so easily. Because their very core is threatened. They could not proudly articulate their Muslim bans or demonize immigrants or call for civil war or violence against the government until Trump gave them a voice. This is why the theme of Trump’s 2016 convention acceptance speech was, “I am your voice.” If all of their candidates lose, they lose their voice. That which binds them is severed. Viewed this way, 1-6 is understandable and they are at war with the country. That is why Biden called to reject them at the ballot box. This isn’t the GOP of Mitt Romney or John McCain anymore. Or my buddy who I used to debate policy and candidates. The choices now are very stark now. Traditional conservatives need a place.

    President Biden Delivers Remarks on Democracy From Philadelphia

    REMARKS BY PRESIDENT BIDEN ON THE CONTINUED BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE NATION

    Shades of there are good people and bad people?
    Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
    Now, I want to be very clear — (applause) — very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.
    Build Back Better? You decide.

    So certain folks are willing to kill other Americans over a speech they didn't watch. Yeah... I'd say Biden nailed it then.

    It was a political speech worthy of a convention.

    not a mention of Inflation, recession, crime, student loan transfer program, emboldened adversaries/Russia/China/war in Ukraine.
    TRUMP! MAGA!! Be afraid!!! "orange man bad...." "They" are the problem.

    True!

    Sorry he didn't talk about what you wanted him to talk about. I get frustrated too when the morning's Scooby Doo episode is one I don't like.

    True. That was his point. I'm so glad you're keeping up!

    Interesting how the MAGA folk compare anyone who either inconveniences them or is against what they believe in to Hitler. They did the same thing with Fauci when all he did was tell them they should get vaccinated and wear a mask. Hitler was responsible for millions and millions of deaths simply because he didn’t like a particular race, you blithering imbeciles. Stop throwing his name out there so casually just because you’re triggered so easily. It’s an absolute insult to those who actually went through the holocaust and their families. The only ones threatening violence and deaths of any sort are you weirdos who can’t stand that Biden called you out for what you are. Period.

    I also didn’t watch the speech, but from the sounds of it, it must have been almost as disturbing as this thread.

    Your comparison of Biden and Scooby Doo is apt. Well said.

    Maybe then stop calling anyone who disagrees with you a racist. Your side is the one who began in under Obama. You couldn't question a single thing Obama did without being called a racist. Newsflash, most Conservatives weren't racist as Obama. Obama could have been the whitest person in the history of the U.S. with genetics showing 100% origin from Great Britain and Norway and I would've disagreed with the vast majority of his policies.

    You say we treat Trump as a God. I say you all were the ones to do it first with Obama. Your side is the one who believes their people can't do a single thing wrong when they are in power. Your side is the one who has completed butchered the word "racist" by calling anyone who disagrees with you a racist.

    Remind me which side said they were going to fundamentally transform America? Remind me which side wanted a defund the police and have lawlessness? Remind me which side caused significant damage to a federal building in Portland? Remind me which side did the same rioting in DC in the summer of 2020? Remind me which side was performing all of this:

    The red half of the country has been called derogatory names by prominent dems for years now....nothing more than deplorables morphing into fascists. Long live the uniter!

    You know when you constantly call half the country the worse names you can think of something tends to happen. Some people will end up saying "screw it, they think I'm horrible anyway, I might as well do things to earn genuinely earn that title".
