You know, history tells us that when a leader tries to villainize a group of people and seize law-abiding citizens’ guns, we should be prepared for the worst. I would have never guessed that the leader I just described would be the president of the United States—Land of the free, home of the brave, but here we are.
Biden only continues to stir the pot between neighbors while threatening to scale back more rights. The sentiment was not lost on ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher who ripped Biden’s anti-MAGA rhetoric.
“I got to say — Joe Biden is an old dog that can learn a new trick,” the host said during his TV show on Friday.
“He came into office — ‘I’m going to reconcile with Republicans, the old Republican Party’ — he finally got it through his head. No, they’re not — you cannot negotiate with election-deniers,” he said.
Biden’s called the conservative party “semi-fascist” during a speech at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser event in Bethesda, Maryland. Which was just one of the many hate-filled speeches the Dem leader has given in recent weeks.
“So 59% of the people agree with him in this speech about MAGA is a threat to this country because they don’t believe in democracy,” Maher said of the public reaction to the speech. “But 58% of the people said this speech was divisive. I get this because I feel like it’s kind of analogous to Afghanistan. That he did it? I like. The way they did it? Not good.”
When Biden first introduced the left vs right hate speech he was met with outrage from rhino conservatives. He has since clarified disingenuously that it’s just ‘MAGA’ conservatives that everyone should hate.
Maher noted that Biden didn’t single out his own party’s ‘extremists’. I mean, that considering the Make America Great supporters but what about the nuts on the far left?
“There’s something every day that Biden could have picked out and said, ‘And my side has gone too far on this,'” Maher said. “And yes, it wouldn’t be equivalent, but the country could then — the people in the middle and the people who don’t want to feel like you’re just attacking my team would be, like, ‘Yes, finally.’ And then, he could not have to run again.”
Watch
I’d like to add to Maher’s note of bias from the diminished Biden; he could have said “this is extreme on this side” and “this is extreme on the other side” and drawn in the moderates, but he chose not to. He chose to single out hardworking taxpayers and label them a ‘threat to democracy’. It was a choice.
To that choice I direct you back to my very first statement; “history tells us that when a leader tries to villainize a group of people and seize law-abiding citizens’, guns we should be prepared for the worst.” That’s not divisive rhetoric but a real concern to witness right here in the US.
