Boo-hoo. Fascist MAGA Republicans are miffed at being called out by President Biden

President Biden made a simple but brilliant distinction Thursday evening in Philadelphia when he spoke passionately about two species of Republicans in America today: mainstream and MAGA.

“Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans,” Biden said. “Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know, because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country.”

This was another welcome manifestation of the president’s more combative public stance toward Trump and his followers. In the speech, Biden even obliquely slammed his onetime friend, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who foolishly predicted last week that there will be “riots in the street” if Trump is prosecuted for illegally removing documents from the White House.

“This is inflammatory,” said the president. “It’s dangerous. It’s against the rule of law.”

Even know that they are a small minority. Biden is right, they are not even a majority of Republicans. Unfortunately, they just don't do facts.

Even if he insulted all Republicans, which he did not, all republicans together are not 1/2 of Americans. Not even 1/2 of all voters. MAGA is a minority within the GOP.

Italian Word: Fascista

Benito Mussolini leading his Fascist, "March on Rome" in a coup in 1922 where the
use of mob violence was seen as a needed tool by Mussolini and his Fascist thugs
who were called, "the black shirts."






Donald Trump 1/6/21 urging his supporters to use violence to overthrow our constitutional democracy.



Trump's own "black shirts" attacking the US Capitol and the police officers defending it on 1/6/21.



Vlad Putin installed Donald Trump as President in order to cause massive social disruption in America.

They support trump because they ARE him.

I love the pukes saying Biden’s speech divided.

Damn right. Pick a side Mofos.

Not sure what Joe even means by “mainstream”Republicans. Who are they? Manchin and Senama?
(Spelling purposeful)

Cheney maybe? Not very mainstream when she supports Republican agenda 93% of the time.

altho I'm not sure they are the majority of the GOP. If they are, hopefully not for much longer. The November election is going to be a rude awakening to the GOP, when millions of pissed off women Roe the vote.

The Washington Post, not so much, very disappointed with them. Democracy hangs in the balance and they're whining about civility? FUCK THAT NOISE.
