Biden’s prime-time speech: Trumpism threatens democracy

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will sound an alarm Thursday night about what he views as “extremist” threats to American democracy from the restive forces of Trumpism, aiming to reframe the November elections as part of an unceasing battle for the “soul of the nation.”

Nearly two years after he defeated Donald Trump, it’s a reprise of Biden’s 2020 campaign theme, casting the midterm election stakes in as dire terms as those that sent him to the Oval Office. His prime-time speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia will lay out what he sees as the risks from those he has dubbed “ultra-MAGA Republicans” to the nation’s system of government, its standing abroad and its citizens’ way of life.

The explicit effort by Biden to marginalize Trump and and his “Make America Great Again” adherents marks a sharp turn for the president, who preached his desire to bring about national unity in his Inaugural address. White House officials said it reflects his mounting concern about Trump conservatives’ ideological proposals and 2020 election denialism.

Biden, who had largely avoided even referring to “the former guy” by name during his first year in office, has grown increasingly vocal in calling out Trump personally. Now, emboldened by his party’s recent legislative wins and wary of Trump’s return to the headlines, Biden is sharpening his attacks.

At a Democratic fundraiser last week, Biden likened the “MAGA philosophy” to “semi-fascism.”

Any time Democrats lose an election, it threatens democracy.

Let us not allow Biden to tell us who we are. Don’t let them define us and name-call us. We know who they are. They are commies and should feel threatened by us real Americans. Don’t let him control the narrative.

Propaganda. The Democrats get away with it, because the “news media” parrots their talking points. If the media won’t take these liars on, somebody has to.

“ Don’t let them define us and name-call us.”

I wish one of the so-called reporters would ask Biden what is his definition of a fascist? A semi fascist? And many other terms that he just reads from his teleprompter. .

Biden can’t solve a problem, he can only create them. So he has to blame Trump.

Will they have a commission on un-American affairs, asking questions like “Are you now or have you ever been a Trump supporter?”

Biden can’t claim to have God on his side. The DNC denounced God three times.

True. I wondered a little bit when I saw Hillary, AOC, Schiff and Peter Strzok with those eyes so bulging and intense.

Radio Hist Mark Kaye is doing a Science Theater 3000 style show on Biden’s speech. I thought I heard markkaye.live.com or something similar. But doesn’t work need help!
