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.”

“...the restive forces of Trumpism...”

Hmmm...

Edgy. Visceral. Brooding.

I like it! I embrace it! I’ll wear it on my name tag!

On another note — how can “Making America Great Again” possibly NOT be a Good Thing? Therefore I’ll wear Ultra-MAGA proudly, too.

I’m even warming to “semi-fascist”. :-)

Name tag’s getting crowded, but that’s okay!

FUJB. FUDemonRats. Rock on PRESIDENT Trump!

I will be at home not watching. I hope there is no false flag tonight. But I wouldn’t put it past them... Solves a lot of problems for them, though.

Is he going to rant and rave and stir up those riots Graham talked about

Do you remember biden was the one who tried to get Justice Thomas from the SC. If you are old enough to remember the horrible scene they put that great man thru.
Day after day..

And do you remember when obama came on the scene. Biden said ‘we’ve got a clean one’.

The man has been a joke and hateful all his life!

MAGA Republicans (USA), Jews (Germany), kulaks (Ukraine), intellectuals (Cambodia), etc., etc.

Obama is quite a cowardly pansy, pulling the strings on CWII from the safety and in anonymity from Marthas Vineyard.

If he's involved, he's probably doing it safely from the Kalorama section of DC, where his mansion is.

Its a Trap! He will do his level best to spark a MAGA reaction—and then stamp it out with his FBI—They are ready, the camps are set up now. He may well announce something really outrageous like: “I have ordered the immediate arrest of Donald Trump for Treason and Rebellion. His Movement and supporters to save our Democracy. I am forced to take this action from secret information intelligence services have uncovered.” Then they cut away to Trump being escorted out of Trump Tower in Handcuffs. “He will be given a fair trail in Washington DC and have a chance to have his say in court.” (subject to a gag Order). “I am doing this for the good of Democracy!” Watch CNN Polls will show 85% approval ratings! Don’t take the bate. This Movement is more than one man.
