'MAGA forces' determined to 'take country backwards,' Biden says in speech from Philadelphia (USA TODAY)


WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said "MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards" in a prime-time address to the nation Thursday, urging Americans to "stand up" to defend democracy and "choose a better path forward."

Biden warned that "equality and democracy are under assault," singling out former President Donald Trump by name and his supporters who have denied the results of the 2020 presidential election. He called it his "duty to level with you to tell the truth" as he accused Trump's followers of fanning political violence.

Biden has embraced a more aggressive tone as the campaign kicks into high gear, accusing Republicans aligned with Trump of "semi-fascism." He's singled out "MAGA Republicans," referring to the Make America Great Again movement spawned by his predecessor, to argue the party has become increasingly "extreme." He sought Thursday to differentiate the far right from "mainstream Republicans," who he said he respects.

"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.

He said they "embrace anger, they thrive on chaos, they live not in light of truth, but in the shadow of lies," but added "together we can choose a different path."

"That feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" takes OrangeMan to a place never has gone, and, I suspect, never will.

Trump is, as pb has said, despicable for his classless attacks on DC Dems and the SwampMedia, but he never attacks even the most progressive voters.

Trump disgusts pb. But, after this, pb has only one word for the Former Truck Driver. Hitlerian.

What pb is asking himself is: Will Biden followers denounce this hate? Will you Biden followers repent? Can they say, "Enough! This is despicable?"

Hmmmm?

by Donna on September 2, 2022 7:27 am Jews weren't engaged in a fascist takeover of Germany - they were the victims of it. MAGA Republicans right now are planning a fascist takeover of our republic by undermining democracy at the state level, which Rush Limbaugh thought was a fantastic idea. That was their plan in the 2020 election, but VP Pence foiled it. Rush Limbaugh I commend President Biden for calling out the rot that's threatening our democratic republic. by Donna on September 2, 2022 7:56 am Here here. I agree with Donna. It's the Republican party's own fault for its accommodating and enabling of a literal fascist like Donald Trump that has single-handedly elevated the dialog to this point. Everything that Biden said is factual, demonstrable truth. He is simply calling a spade a spade and not mincing any words about the critical threat that many in the Republican have existentially brought this country to. Bravo, Biden for having the courage to address this problem from a place of open minded honesty. There should be no pussyfooting when dealing with undemocratic, fascist attacks against our republic. by Ponderer on September 2, 2022 8:05 am That last one was me. by Donna on September 2, 2022 8:56 am Pew Research Center surveys, including the 2020 study, show that Jews are among the most consistently liberal and Democratic groups in the U.S. population. Seven-in-ten Jewish adults identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party, and half describe their political views as liberal. This general inclination toward the Democratic Party and liberal values goes hand-in-hand with disapproval of former Republican President Donald Trump. In this survey, conducted roughly five to 12 months before the 2020 presidential election, nearly three-quarters of Jewish adults disapproved of the job Trump was doing as president, while just 27% rated him positively – far below the 65% who approved of President Barack Obama’s job performance in 2013. Orthodox Jews, however, stand out as a small subgroup (roughly one-in-ten Jewish adults) whose political profile is virtually the reverse of Jews as a whole: 60% of Orthodox Jews describe their political views as conservative, 75% identify as Republicans or lean toward the GOP, and 81% approved of Trump’s job performance at the time of the survey. by HatetheSwamp on September 2, 2022 9:02 am Jews weren't engaged in a fascist takeover of Germany - they were the victims of it.

Those dang Jews want to rule the world!!!!! Bahahahahahahahahahaha! You're sick! But, in a Three Stooges sorta way. Keeheeheeheeheeheehee. by Ponderer on September 2, 2022 10:09 am Freakin'-A, Bill.
