Republican pundit Rick Tyler was shot down on MSNBC Sunday after claiming that Donald Trump's speech in Pennsylvania on Saturday was the same as President Joe Biden's pitch for Americans to help save democracy.

Biden spoke out on Thursday, saying that the MAGA philosophy is an attempt to eliminate the votes of Americans, the attempt to restrict the votes of Americans and the attempt to obliterate the liberty and freedoms of Americans. Over and over in his speech, he talked about his work with Republicans and long-time friendship with patriotic Republicans who continue to believe in the Constitution and the rule of law.

Tyler argued that both sides fear that the other is a threat to democracy. In fact, Democrats fear that MAGA world is a threat to democracy, while MAGA world doesn't believe in democracy. Over and over in polls Trump voters have expressed controversial beliefs that are far outside of the mainstream.

A University of Washington study after the Trump administration revealed that MAGA voters believe the 2020 election was stolen, the Jan. 6 attack was actually anti-fascist protesters and COVID-19 is a bioweapon of China.
