i don’t think the election was rigged. i think trump lost because he’s an unbelievable jerk.

I’d never vote for trump in a primary. i’d almost certainly vote for him in a general against any democrat.

i want america to be great.

and i think it had to be a republican plant in the Biden administration who came up with the optics for that speech. all that was missing was the Darth Vader music.

Donald Trump has called President Joe Biden an "enemy of the state" at his first rally since the FBI searched his Florida resort for sensitive files.

Funny how the head name caller and his supporters who love his childish behaviors are upset

Because Biden called them the F word

Yep facts and honesty Are not Trumps or his supporters strongest virtue

Opinion by S.E. Cupp, Tribune Content Agency - 2h ago

Over the past few days, it’s safe to say we’ve all shed a tear or two, maybe even said a prayer, and quietly reflected on the tremendous loss the world collectively experienced last week. For many that’s because of the historic and solemn events unfolding in the United Kingdom.

But I’m not talking about the death of Queen Elizabeth II at age 96. I’m talking about the grief and trauma many in MAGA world are apparently experiencing, inflicted by President Biden and his very mean speech earlier this month.

To listen to them bravely share their stories of pain and suffering is to truly break one’s heart. Before you keep reading, you might want to grab a tissue.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, the gentlelady from Colorado who once suggested a Muslim Democratic congresswoman was probably a terrorist, called Biden’s remarks about MAGA Republicans “disgusting and decisive [sic].” That was just before she accused him of having “cognitive failure.” As my therapist says, hurt people hurt people.

Minority House Leader Kevin McCarthy seemed utterly devastated when he lamented that Biden had “chosen to divide, demean, and disparage his fellow Americans. Why? Simply because they disagree with his policies.”

Yeah, what kind of monster would do such a thing? Like, what president would tell fellow Americans who disagreed with his policies — say, four elected women of color — to “go back” to their home countries?

What leader of the Free World would call the Americans who fought our wars “losers” and “suckers”? That would be unforgivable.

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, was also personally afflicted by Biden’s comments, calling him “the most condescending president of my lifetime.”

Indeed. But could you imagine if Biden had said — of his own supporters — that, I don’t know, he “could stand in the middle of Fifth Ave. and shoot somebody” and they’d still vote for him? I mean, no politician would think that little of his or her base.

As for Mike Pence, the former vice president who insists he and Trump parted amicably despite a mob of Trump supporters calling for his death by hanging, he’s appalled by Biden’s reference to “semi-fascism.”

“Never before in the history of our nation has a president stood before the American people and accused millions of his own countrymen of being a ‘threat to this country.’ ”

Never — because what kind of president would call millions of his own countrymen fascists?

What kind of leader would call the free press, a sitting president and a secretary of state “the enemy”?

Who would call police officers who defended the Capitol against a violent mob of insurrectionists “p*ssies”?

Who would call members of the opposing political party “un-American” and “treasonous,” simply because they didn’t clap for you?

It’s unheard of.

Finally, the folks at Fox News are also bummed at Biden. Jesse Watters, a reliably sensitive host who once urged young conservatives to “ambush” Anthony Fauci and then “go in for the kill shot,” complained that Biden has waged a “war on terror” against him and other MAGA Republicans.

Harris Faulkner also wondered aloud, “Do we really, really love the citizens of this great nation? We have a president who hates at least half of them.”

These are the aching words of the downtrodden, mistreated and tortured souls of Trump’s MAGA army. How they survive in these unlivable conditions, under this kind of oppression, is anyone’s guess.

Perhaps, and I’m just spitballing, Biden’s words — that Trump and MAGA Republicans “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic” — are cutting so deep because they are irrefutably true.

Storming the Capitol to overturn a democratic election is extreme and threatens the very foundations of our republic.

Nominating self-avowed election deniers to positions of power all over the country is extreme and threatens the very foundations of our republic.

Denying basic facts in favor of baseless conspiracy theories is extreme and threatens the very foundations of our republic.

Biden didn’t invent the idea that MAGA world is a threat to democracy, and most American people — including a quarter of Republicans — agree, according to recent polling.

But you can understand why this would be so hard to hear, so painful, so gut-wrenching, even for the party that belittles liberal “snowflakes” for finding words and ideas offensive…

…and even for the party that shrugged when Trump mocked a disabled journalist, a prisoner of war, a teenage activist, Asian accents and asylum seekers…

…and even for the party that accepted Trump’s disparaging comments about women, Jews, Blacks, Muslims, LGBTQ, immigrants and the poor.

Indeed, let’s all have some empathy and compassion for the aggrieved MAGA Republicans, who no longer feel safe in Joe Biden’s America.

Paul, there are truly despicable republicans. That’s not who bidem said was a threat. He cast the net a lot wider.

You found someone who doesn’t think anyone in the right has a reason to be upset at bidens speech. i can post articles from people who thought his tone was awful.

FYI, it’s kind of funny to describe people who want a smaller federal government, as fascists.

Actually Trump's calling Dems. fascists was broader than Biden's.

In 2020, Trump called Democrats "fascists" while surrounded by military officials.

No one remembers it bc Dems didn't feel threatened by his false claim.

In the clip, the ex-president begins listing all the wrongs of the Democratic party, which included the move away from fossil fuels, reproductive rights and the claim that the party wanted to “replace American freedom with left-wing fascism.”

“Fascists. They are fascists. Some of them, not all of them. But some of them, but they’re getting closer and closer. We have to win this election,” Mr Trump adds in the since viral clip.

liberal democrats want a massive federal government presence and less individual liberty than republicans

Biden was supposed to be more unifying than trump, wasn’t he? The best guy can do is say he’s not white as bad as trump i. terms of how many americans he called fascists?

you don’t think “some” liberals are fascists? the ones who burn down cities and beat people with pipes for disagreeing with them, they aren’t fascists?

the democrats didn’t feel threatened by trump’s
claims? that’s what you just said? with a straight face?

you don’t think “some” liberals are fascists? the ones who burn down cities and beat people with pipes for disagreeing with them, they aren’t fascists?

paul, anyone who says “republicans want to put blacks in chains”, isn’t even a little bit unifying. sorry. That was an unbelievable thing to say. but he’s a democrat, so it’s ok. Biden has been an attack dog for the DNC for decades.

I’ve seen polling that shows even a small
majority of demi rats thought bidens speech was divisive. I’m glad he did it, it probably helps the right.

Impressive

demi rats

And you wonder why anyone would think you’re deplorable and irredeemable.

Republicans ordering poll workers to break election rules the night before a primary?

No worry— MAGAs are just a tiny section of the GOP, right? The 74M who tried to re-elect Trump just did it to prank the rest of us.

Between Hilarys deplorable and irredeemable statement, Bidens suggesting that all republicans want to put blacks back in chains, Biden suggesting that tens of millions of republicans are threats to democracy, are those things really that much less divisive than Trumps rantings?

We choose to elect awful people. both sides.

Biden didn’t invent the idea that MAGA world is a threat to democracy, and most American people — including a quarter of Republicans — agree, according to recent polling.

But you can understand why this would be so hard to hear, so painful, so gut-wrenching, even for the party that belittles liberal “snowflakes” for finding words and ideas offensive…

…and even for the party that shrugged when Trump mocked a disabled journalist, a prisoner of war, a teenage activist, Asian accents and asylum seekers…

…and even for the party that accepted Trump’s disparaging comments about women, Jews, Blacks, Muslims, LGBTQ, immigrants and the poor.

Indeed, let’s all have some empathy and compassion for the aggrieved MAGA Republicans, who no longer feel safe in Joe Biden’s America.
not asking for any empathy. perhaps a speck of honesty, but nope

who would call police officers racist barbarians? but, as always, it’s ok when you guys do it.
