Joe Biden said he was speaking to unity and democracy. Then he divided the country and declared he was against maga republicans and is trying to imprison his rival so he can't run for office.
Like I said, Joe Biden chose the dividing line. He chose to specify Donald Trump and his supporters as his enemies, and declared everyone else must be against them.
Donald Trump and his supporters make up half the country, and the virtually all republicans. Trump has much higher levels of support among Republicans than Biden does among democrats.
I can't imagine you'd give any credence to political doublespeak. Like buying into everything someone says before the word 'but' as if it its about to excuse what they're actually saying. Joe Biden gave his speech for the explicit purpose of denouncing Donald Trump and his supporters, impugning them, labeling them a threat to democracy, speaking out against them like George W. Bush did against Al Qaeda. Just because he dressed it up in the trite inanities echoing Obama's words like 'unity' doesn't change either his intent or his effect, which were the opposite. And that, at least, is not a new precedent for a politician giving a speech.
most republican voters i know dont think the election was stolen, think the jan 6th protest was dumb, and aren't buying silly tinfoil nonsense.
biden clearly was speaking to those idiots who are willing to die on that hill. the "whyd they stop counting the votes" people all the way to the "deepstate bought off all the judges Trump appointed" people. everything inbetween makes up MAYBE 25% of the GOPs voters, i tend to think 10% is closer.
for once i found bidens clarification of that to be surprisingly clear for a senile old man.
your posts today have been crybaby b.s. tbh. false indignation. "half the nation" is one of the stupidest things ive ever read you type.
