Donald Trump wants you to be furious about Joe Biden accusing him and
his movement of being big meanies and so he took to the rally stage I should say,
and decided to attack Biden, the Dems literally everything while
proving Biden right, we'll get to all that.
But let's start off with this.
>> This week, Joe Biden came to Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania to give the most vicious, hateful and
divisive speech ever delivered by an American president
vilifying 75 million citizens plus another probably
75 to 150 if we want to be accurate about it as threats to democracy and
as enemies of the state, you're all enemies of the state.
He's an enemy of the state.
>> So that turned around quickly, how dare he declare an American enemy of the state?
He's an enemy of the state.
I see. Okay well look,
we could run through any number of different Trump speeches that you know,
we're actually vicious and deranged but just really fast.
Let's be super specific if it is wrong to declare your political opponents
are fascists, why was it that back in August of 2020 right before
a presidential election, Donald Trump had this to say about the democrats.
>> And replace American freedom with left wing fascination, left wing,
we're going left wing all the way 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.
>> Okay, so I'm gonna defend Donald Trump in a couple of different ways.
One he almost evaded responsibility for having called his opponents fascist
because he had so much trouble pronouncing it, but
eventually got there and he eventually did say it.
Although again in his defense there he almost pulled a Biden.
He called the Dems fascists, not all of them kind of they're moving they're moving
the direction that's sort of like calling them semi fascist.
I would say it's at least a wash at this point.
But the bigger issue is that in this rally, Donald Trump proves Biden right.
If Biden is making the case that the mog a wing of the Republican party is a threat
to democracy that they're deranged and extreme.
We'll take a look at just a couple of the excerpts from Donald Trump's speech.
>> Together we are standing up against some of the most menacing forces,
entrenched interests and vicious opponents our people have ever seen.
Despite great outside dangers, our biggest threat remains the sick,
sinister and evil people from within our own country.
We are a nation that no longer has a free and fair press.
Fake news is all you get and they are truly the enemy of the people.
Sometimes I'll say somebody smart and the fake news and
he called president Xi's smart.
He rules with an iron fist 1.5 billion people.
Yeah, I'd say he's smart, wouldn't you say he's smart.
>> Look if we wanted to we could have had the producers go back
through past Trump's speeches and show that he's antidemocratic or a threat.
But there he calls the democrats a bigger threat than anything
outside of the country.
They are vile, sinister, evil people.
He says the media is the enemy of the people, after just saying it's wrong to
call people and the people, he says the media is, and
then he points at the particular media covering his actual speech.
They're the enemy of the people.
And then he speaks about how smart it is to rule a country with
an iron fist as an authoritarian leader.
Then I feel like maybe Biden was onto something.
What do you think?
>> Yeah, I mean, but like this is what's so wild.
It's like, look, this has always been a tactic, literally like going back even to
Hitler himself, right, pointing fingers and saying, no, they're the real fascists,
they're the real fascist, they're the real fascists.
I mean, they're fascist movements, they call themselves socialist, but
their nationalistic socialists.
And then it's like, hold up, let's break this down for a second.
That's always been their thing.
That's always been their thing is doing this propaganda about no,
the communists are the real fascists and that Joe Biden isn't even a communist,
right, Joe Biden isn't even though he's hardly even left wing policy by policy.
He's closer to Boris Johnson than like any other political world leader.
So like let's first and foremost just operate from a space of reality.
But then literally let's just take a look at the actions too, right?
Republicans last year, just a few months ago, last school year,
right before the summer there was a school that was just trying
to punish a student for bullying a trans student, right?
That's all the schools trying to do.
And republicans shut it down with bomb threats, bomb threats and literally right
now they're republicans that are sending death threats to children's hospitals,
just because they're providing basic healthcare for trans youth, right?
So that that's the reality of what's happening, right?
The republicans are actively encouraging, right?
They're doing the stochastic terrorism and trying to like instigate violence
against the people that they perceive as their political opponents, right?
And so fundamentally at its core, there's no question about who the fascists are,
but much like what happened in Germany in the 30s, because the fascists'
just running around saying, no, the real fascists are over there,
the media and anybody who's interested in being the most insufferable
centrist you could imagine is bending over backwards to be like, I don't know,
maybe Joe Biden is the real fascist and speaking as somebody who is a socialist.
Yeah, Joe Biden is a pretty extreme right figure, but
to say that he's the same as what Donald Trump is doing, that's going a bit far.
>> Yeah, a little bit.
Exactly, yeah, no, and I'm glad that you acknowledge that look having
the politicians doing all the insane spreading conspiracy theories and
attacking people is bad but having the broader political movement just
choosing individuals as avatars of out groups to then demonize and
bully or attack or potentially kill is worse.
By the way, a little bit of a heads up for this time next year.
But those two things are gonna combine even worse than I already have.
I mean you're used to at this point having Ron DeSantis demonizing the trans
community.
Donald Trump, dipped his toe in that water in a speech like a month ago he's 100%
gonna do it, he's not gonna allow other right wingers to outflank him on
being awful and cruel and violent and threatening.
So he is going to start to demonize the trans community much more regularly.
So look forward to that coming up soon.
