The centerpiece of President Biden’s reelection campaign is labeling former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy, but critics say Mr. Biden’s attacks on the presumptive Republican nominee also pose a risk for Americans’ freedoms.
In a series of speeches, Mr. Biden has apocalyptically warned that Mr. Trump and his followers would dismantle democracy if he wins the election. The source of such concern, Mr. Biden says, is Mr. Trump’s insistence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, which culminated in violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the building.
Mr. Biden also has accused his predecessor of embracing authoritarian language, including Mr. Trump’s claim that he would be a dictator on “Day One.” Mr. Trump has insisted he spoke in jest.
“Here we are in 2024 and what we’re fighting for is clear. It’s freedom — in the literal sense — freedom, democracy, America,” Mr. Biden said at a June campaign fundraiser in Virginia. “The threat Trump poses would be greater in a second term than it was in his first term.”
At the same fundraiser, Mr. Biden mentioned Mr. Trump 17 times, “freedom” eight times and democracy four times. In contrast, he mentioned the economy only twice and inflation three times.
But historians and politicians say democracy is just fine. They note that America’s presidential election is being held on time, participation rates are healthy and federal and local governments are stable and functioning as the U.S. Constitution intended.
Under Mr. Biden’s watch, Congress has passed several significant bills with largely bipartisan support, including tightening gun laws and bolstering computer chip manufacturing.

THREAT to DEMOCRACY
One of the best lefty labels of all time. Your democracy can whither on the vine.
We live in a Republic!
what they really mean is
"threat to the power/control of democrat party"
Biden’s Democracy = Camps like in Poland
The Media has done double duty branding Trump as everything bad, a New Hitler, Con Man, crooked like Nixon, Russian stooge, a clown hated by the world. Fumbler who wrecked the nation with Covid and the Vax. An egoist who will set himself up as a tyrant dictator worse than Hoover or the mad man Reagan. It has worked too. Many of my Democrat Friends still believe Russia gave Trump the victory over Hillary in 2016. Many believe he is an ardent racist and all the pro-black statements just PR. He is seen as a grafter plutocrat, only interested in getting richer. If you believe this propaganda that once in office Trump will send all progressives, women who had abortions, and Progressive activists and people attempting to save the planet, into death camps where millions will die.So deranged people believe this firmly.
I’m already voting for Trump. You don’t t have to sell me on him.
"Man, what an uproar when I led you off the stage. It was the least I could do
for the $70M you and Hunter got me, by peddling my classified documents."
