That is a video where biden of course, is Hitler.
If you're not understanding the historic reference there, that was chaired by
marjorie Greene, marjorie Green of course is a part of the Republican party,
a party that is spending all of today saying that declaring them semi fascist or
a potential threat to democracy is out of bounds.
But turning joe biden into Hitler and
spreading that on social is apparently fully acceptable.
That's that doesn't honestly even stand out from other right wingers.
They are losing their ever loving minds over this biden speech.
Here's a little mash up for you.
The Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by donald trump and
the Maga republicans and that is a threat to this country.
Yeah, they're a threat, says the guy with the blood red Nazi background and
marines standing behind him.
The imagery, there was almost satanic with that blood red lighting and
the two marines behind him.
It was just insane.
The idea he would give such a massively partisan speech
that degraded half of the country in the eyes of the world.
I don't know any democrat that can stand by that and say that that was OK.
This speech is easily the most disgraceful speech from a president in recent decades.
It is horrifying how he is issuing a call to war against every single
american who didn't vote for him.
President biden tonight gave the speech of a dictator in the style of a dictator,
in the visual of a dictator using the words of a dictator.
This was his enemies of the state speech and
like every other radical Marxist tyrant,
he accused his opponents of being fascist while he
engages in repressive authoritarian behavior.
I think that Baby Voldemort's got a good point there.
No it's ridiculous if it sounds like they did not listen to the same speech as you.
It's because they didn't listen to the speech.
Let's be very clear about that.
They weren't actually responding to it tucker Carlson, you know, while he's up
next to me, let off his show saying we're going to dive deep into Biden's speech and
then went more than half of the run time, not playing a single second of it.
He had thoughts about it but he literally was not watching it.
It was being broadcast while he was live and yet
he had many thoughts about the speech that he wasn't actually listening to.
These are of course all right wing commentators that sat happily by for
all of these debate performances, campaign speeches and rallies from donald trump
mocking the fizz, physically disabled, pitching all democrats as horrible people.
And then not just doing not just saying things but
doing things actually working to strip away rights, putting religious ideologues
on the Supreme Court having as your only domestic infrastructure goal the creation
of a multibillion dollar wall to keep out the people you label illegals casually.
So spare me honestly the supposed tears Stephen Miller would have loved every bit
of that if it had been delivered by trump it just wouldn't have had any of the sting
of actually identifying a true threat to democracy in that case.
Yeah, I think half the people in those clips no of course that they're
playing games and and and Stephen Miller said one thing that is true,
he said, look, the oldest trick for
people who want to be authoritarian is to call their opponents what they are,
which is ironically exactly what he was doing in that appearance.
He was an integral part of donald trump's presidency and he pushed the fake
elector scheme which would have literally done a coup against our democracy.
He pushes for an authoritarian leader in donald trump and
then he says look, biden's doing it and
then he tells you his own strategy as if biden believes it, right?
So that was really meta.
But I think half of them guys are genuinely shocked and and I and
I know why because right wingers have a sense of entitlement this country,
the democrats and the left are not allowed to fight back that they could
say anything they want about democrats, they could say that their
child molesters and their baby killers and criminals and rapists and
the worst they can say anything the most outrageous things about democrats,
but if a democrat ever says anything about republicans, My God,
they have offended half the country.
Well, how about when you were calling half the country baby killers and and
all the other unbelievable things you've said over the last 40 years.
They feel like, no, no, I have a right to do that.
I have a right to punch you in the face, but
you don't ever have a right to talk back to me because I'm in charge now.
Super sad day for the right wing.
No, you're not.
We do get to talk back to you, you're not the boss of us.
And and they've gotten smug and used to that entitlement because Democrats
have not fought back in 40 Goddamn years when buying half fights back.
This is not open to a majority of Republicans are wonderful people.
The majority of my ask, they're wonderful people.
They're awful people, right?
But he says the majority are good, but less than have or, you know,
are problematic because they just try to overturn our democracy.
And this is the most divisive speech in decades.
You never saw donald trump's speech.
They're just amazing.
It's amazing to watch them try and brand run of the mill neoliberal democracy as
fascism, which might be something that would be kind of easy to do if we were
living in a country where most people were to the left of neoliberal democracy,
but when we have actual fascists on the far right by comparison,
it's not so easy to do.
But I bet people will watch these news segments,
not watch the speech and just believe them at their word.
And that's really scary.
It's not really about the lighting in the speech.
They're trying to frame biden as an authoritarian
leader because he says he's going to uphold elections and and
make sure that public resources sometimes go to things that benefit people and
sometimes regulate corporations and to us on the actual left that want to see
the actual will of the people reflected in their government.
The speech doesn't go far enough.
And that's very clear and it's very run of the mill neoliberal democracy.
To the point that he's still calling the United States a democratic experiment and
we're the country that's a beacon on the hill.
And he makes a point to very clearly call out political violence,
which is the same rhetoric that they push during the Black Lives Matter movement.
We know that in the United States we've had a lot of one sided state violence and
when people stand up to that,
things like the destruction of property is framed as terribly violent revolutionary
behavior when in reality it's a response to people being murdered by the state.
So biden's speech was not terribly far right.
It was pretty much down the middle calling for unity by just saying, you know,
we need to actually have fair elections not making any big bold promises other
than to transition to renewable energy.
But that wasn't really backed with any details of the plan.
So it's insane to watch them brand this speech as extremists when it is the most
purely centrist thing I've heard in a long time.
Yeah. And
when we when we respond with like have they been listening to donald trump?
You might come away if you haven't been following every step along the way that so
they're saying that I I guess everybody does it,
that's very clearly not what we're saying,
what biden is doing is not throwing substance free slurs at the other side.
He's identifying the actual intent of this movement on the right.
They do want to end democra perhaps not via cu next time.
That would be nice, but they definitely want your vote to not actually count for
anything even less than it does now.
That is actually true when Donald trump stands on the stage and
appeals to the Q and non crowd or you know,
has his crowd chant lock her up about conspiracy theories about Hillary clinton.
That is not the same thing as accurately describing what a political movement is
trying to calm.
So this is not what about ism they are very different things.
But I wanna give you just a couple more responses to it.
It came not just on Fox News.
Ben Shapiro,
he who has always been a very big critic of trump when he goes too far tweeted.
That was the most demagogic outrageous and divisive speech I have ever seen from
an american president, I apologize if I'm not really selling the Ben Shapiro thing.
Imagine that I've slowed it down by about two times.
Joe biden essentially declared all those who opposed him as agenda enemies of
the republic truly shameful.
No, he didn't do that and
you know he didn't do that because you said essentially.
And the reason you wrote essentially in your tweet is because you know that donald
trump literally called groups in America the enemy of the people hundreds of times
and you never raised a single objection to it.
Thus the flaccid essentially in your tweet but
donald trump also posted about it not on twitter because he's not allowed on there.
And that remains fun to this day saying if you look at the words and
meaning of the awkward and angry biden speech night,
he threatened America including with the possible use of military force,
he must be insane or suffering from late stage dementia and might I add person,
woman man camera tv Yes, he's threatening with military.
I mean come on.
Do we seriously have to respond to whether biden was threatening to deploy
the military against the american people that isn't actually what he was doing.
Now donald trump frequently fantasized about putting the military in
the streets whether for ostentatious north korean esque military parades or
to crush social justice protests again.
It is all projection under eluded dark Jackson.
We have a Jackson here.
So what what I'm seeing from all the right wing is them basically
saying how dare they fight back?
Don't they know their place?
They're supposed to just have us pummel them and
just sit there and take it and tell America how great we are.
No sorry for the first time joe biden hasn't done that.
That's what he normally does.
But he gave a speech that went a quarter of the way to being honest.
And guys like when we talk about the threat to democracy, so
look a couple of the commentators there that you saw with your own eyes and
then donald trump talked about a call that biden was doing a call to war and
and he threatening to use mills air force.
Did he actually say any of that in the speech?
Absolutely not.
You can watch the speech for yourself.
You see that there's none of it.
It's just totally made up.
But it is what we talked about earlier.
It is projection right?
So they want donald trump literally said go down to the capitol.
You know when he heard that his own vice president might be murdered,
he said he didn't mind.
So there's been a literal call to violence from trump over and
over and over again, lindsey Graham talking about how this,
there's gonna be riots in the streets if you dare hold trump accountable etcetera.
They're obviously projecting And did we always say that donald trump was a threat
to democracy Like that We say it to john's point that we say without substance,
just like they say without substance.
Absolutely not go back and see during the 2016 election when I definitely
definitely wanted trump to lose and I did 100 loser donald segments.
Did I ever say that he was a threat to democracy?
No, you know why?
Because at that point I didn't know he was a threat to democracy.
I just thought he was an incompetent, evil, stupid immoral guy.
Okay, that shouldn't be anywhere near power.
But I didn't think he was gonna, he wasn't gonna leave office that he was gonna
ask his a crowd to do a riot, maybe hang his vice.
I didn't think any of that because I hadn't seen an inclination towards that.
Now we see it.
So you actually poi facts, facts matter, they matter.
But CNN will tell you now because they have a new republican owner.
50 50 I can't, I can't tell and in fact they did do that.
Several different people today on CNN talking about biden's gone too far.
He's such a meanie.
I can't believe he's doing that.
So it's absolutely absurd.
And and and the talk about enemies of the state.
They're kind of rubbing it in your face that they're liars.
So both trump and Stephen Miller you talking about, especially Stephen Miller
in that clip that you saw, he knows he wrote the lines about democrats and
media being enemies of the state when he was writing for Donald trump.
So he goes on there and links to the two, the people who know, but
he knows the audience doesn't know anything because they've been brain by
washed by right wing media and they don't know goddamn thing.
So he goes, biden is calling for
his opponents to be enemies of the state, wink.
That is so bad wink, I can't believe they're offending your feelings wink,
But the audience doesn't know he's winking.
They really think this is the only thing they're saying.
If you watched across the segment remember his entire audience is 100% brainwashed.
You would have thought that it was Hitler's speech and that biden was saying,
I'm going to come and he said he made it seem like they were the biden was gonna
send soldiers to your house and maybe even attack you physically attack you.
They they think that biden's about the march in the goddamn
streets with the military.
And by the way, what happens at the end of right,
when you're thinking that super last thing I would say,
comparatively globally americans have been pretty comfortable.
We haven't had relative political instability and
the idea that we could become the kind of country where democracy fails and
we are terribly politically unstable to the point that there's violence
in the streets, scares a lot of americans, not only that joe biden in this speech,
pointed out how the right has taken many of our basic rights and
freedoms away via their control of the the Supreme Court.
And so what mainstream media, especially Fox is trying to do here is get people to
not watch the speech because they don't want people to hear those narratives they
are afraid, but I think it could backfire because they're saying all this crazy
stuff about what happened in the speech, but
the clips don't reflect any of that crazy stuff happening.
So they're effectively teasing the speech and
more people might end up actually tuning into the speech because of it.
That's also true.
Yes.
It's super last thing,
Tucker Carlson also told you that the people at the George Floyd protests,
we're gonna march in your house and pull you out of your beds.
He said the same thing effectively about the like mandatory vaccination squads that
were gonna come out.
They just keep saying it and they keep gobbling it up.
It's weird how that works
