Can you imagine a U.S. president speaking ill of the opposing political party? It's simply unprecedented.https://gizmodo.com/donald-trump-fill-diapers-joe-biden-speech-maga-twitter-1849488910
President Joe Biden delivered an important speech in Philadelphia on Thursday night about the threat that Donald Trump and his followers pose to the future of American democracy. It was fiery and blunt by Biden standards. And theres probably no better proof that Bidens speech was desperately needed than the reaction it received online. Trumps army of whiners and assholes absolutely lost their shit.
Trump supporters were simply aghast that a president of the United States would deliver such a divisive speech. Can you even imagine if Trump had ever said anything so polarizing? Biden said he was going to bring the country together, they whined, not speak frankly about the neo-fascist ideology of Trumpism. How dare Biden be so callous and mean? What did Biden actually say? He spoke honestly about what will happen if Trump and his acolytes are allowed to retake power.
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic, Biden said, insisting that he wasnt talking about mainstream Republicans. MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards. Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy. No right to contraception, no right to marry who you love, Biden said, hinting at efforts to overturn marriage equality at the Supreme Court.
They promote authoritarian leaders. They fanned the flames of political violence, Biden said in a reference to the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that sought to overturn the 2020 election. It was all objectively true. But it was way too much for many Trump supporters to hear.

The fing defeated former guy did it all the time.
And Biden didnt speak ill of the opposing party, he spoke truth and fact about MAGAS who are a minority but dominating component of the opposing political party.

(5,352 posts)that the people who coordinated it were incompetent. Well, which is it? Is the red background an intentional sign of evil or a messaging blunder? They can't have it both ways, which they don't seem to get.

(43,545 posts)Still have no idea why the US permanently switched in 2000 (led by NBC and Tim Russert) to the reverse of most of the rest of the advanced world.
Same for 'liberal', which usually means, in most other nations, centre right, low tax, free (not fair) trade, shrink the social welfare state, deregulation, quash the unions, etc etc.
