President Joe Biden is arguing that āthere is something dangerous happening in Americaā as he revives his warnings that Donald Trump and his allies represent an existential threat to the countryās democratic institutions.
āThere is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA movement,ā Biden says in excerpts of the speech Thursday in Arizona, released in advance by the White House, referring Trumpās Make America Great Again slogan.
Although voting in the 2024 Republican primary doesnāt begin for months, Bidenās focus reflects Trumpās status as the undisputed frontrunner for his partyās nomination despite facing four indictments, two of them related to his attempts to overturn Bidenās victory in the 2020 election.
I think itās important to note that Trumpās āextremist movementā is the mainstream GOP.
Yeah I saw a poll/survey that said voters found Biden to be ātoo liberalā and the GOP is just about the right amount of conservative.
The Overton Window in the US is so fucked up.
Yeah, targeting the MAGA crowd is not going to work. The Dems need an identity outside of āWe arenāt Republicansā
Edit: That said, I must confess it is good to see theyāre finally taking the Right seriously as a threat instead āThEy WaNT WhATās BeSt fOr tHE NaTIon, wE JuSt NeEd A BeTTeR ComPrOmISEā
