“Fascists. They are fascists. Some of them, not all of them. But some of them, but they’re getting closer and closer. We have to win this election,” Mr Trump adds in the since viral clip.

liberal democrats want a massive federal government presence and less individual liberty than republicans
Biden was supposed to be more unifying than trump, wasn’t he? The best guy can do is say he’s not white as bad as trump i. terms of how many americans he called fascists?
you don’t think “some” liberals are fascists? the ones who burn down cities and beat people with pipes for disagreeing with them, they aren’t fascists?
the democrats didn’t feel threatened by trump’s
claims? that’s what you just said? with a straight face? |

Between Hilarys deplorable and irredeemable statement, Bidens suggesting that all republicans want to put blacks back in chains, Biden suggesting that tens of millions of republicans are threats to democracy, are those things really that much less divisive than Trumps rantings?
We choose to elect awful people. both sides.

The best guy can do is say he’s not white as bad as trump i. terms of how many americans he called fascists?So he should just take the former Pres, many in his admin. and millions lying about the election and trying to prevent the elected Pres from becoming Pres.

paul, anyone who says “republicans want to put blacks in chains”, isn’t even a little bit unifying. sorry. That was an unbelievable thing to say. but he’s a democrat, so it’s ok. Biden has been an attack dog for the DNC for decades.
I’ve seen polling that shows even a small
majority of demi rats thought bidens speech was divisive. I’m glad he did it, it probably helps the right. |

Impressive
demi rats
And you wonder why anyone would think you’re deplorable and irredeemable.
Republicans ordering poll workers to break election rules the night before a primary?
No worry— MAGAs are just a tiny section of the GOP, right? The 74M who tried to re-elect Trump just did it to prank the rest of us.

What kind of leader would call the free press, a sitting president and a secretary of state “the enemy”?
Who would call police officers who defended the Capitol against a violent mob of insurrectionists “p*ssies”?
Who would call members of the opposing political party “un-American” and “treasonous,” simply because they didn’t clap for you?
It’s unheard of.
Finally, the folks at Fox News are also bummed at Biden. Jesse Watters, a reliably sensitive host who once urged young conservatives to “ambush” Anthony Fauci and then “go in for the kill shot,” complained that Biden has waged a “war on terror” against him and other MAGA Republicans.
Harris Faulkner also wondered aloud, “Do we really, really love the citizens of this great nation? We have a president who hates at least half of them.”
These are the aching words of the downtrodden, mistreated and tortured souls of Trump’s MAGA army. How they survive in these unlivable conditions, under this kind of oppression, is anyone’s guess.
Perhaps, and I’m just spitballing, Biden’s words — that Trump and MAGA Republicans “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic” — are cutting so deep because they are irrefutably true.
Storming the Capitol to overturn a democratic election is extreme and threatens the very foundations of our republic.
Nominating self-avowed election deniers to positions of power all over the country is extreme and threatens the very foundations of our republic.
Denying basic facts in favor of baseless conspiracy theories is extreme and threatens the very foundations of our republic.
Biden didn’t invent the idea that MAGA world is a threat to democracy, and most American people — including a quarter of Republicans — agree, according to recent polling.
But you can understand why this would be so hard to hear, so painful, so gut-wrenching, even for the party that belittles liberal “snowflakes” for finding words and ideas offensive…
…and even for the party that shrugged when Trump mocked a disabled journalist, a prisoner of war, a teenage activist, Asian accents and asylum seekers…
…and even for the party that accepted Trump’s disparaging comments about women, Jews, Blacks, Muslims, LGBTQ, immigrants and the poor.
Indeed, let’s all have some empathy and compassion for the aggrieved MAGA Republicans, who no longer feel safe in Joe Biden’s America.

Poor victim
Republicans think
Mitch McConnell is a fantastic Senator for the people of Kentucky
When he took office 38 years ago, Kentucky ranked 48 of 50 in Education and 7 out of the 10 poorest counties in America
38 years later; Kentucky now ranks 48 of 50 and has 9 out of 10 poorest counties in America.

I'm not upset at all. I think it's funny reading how people make comments on what Biden said when Trump said pretty much the same thing and they didn't comment. I understood the sarcasm in your post.

Two men who really wanted to attend the queen's funeral were denied an invitation: Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
Too bad.
