This is Biden’s speech pushing his federalizing of elections “voting rights” bill.
I know where I stand. I will not yield. I will not flinch. I will defend the right to vote, our democracy against all enemies — foreign and, yes, domestic.
And the question is: Where will the institution of the United States Senate stand? Every senator — Democrat, Republican, and independent — will have to declare where they stand, not just for the moment, but for the ages.
Will you stand against voter suppression? Yes or no? That’s the question they’ll answer. Will you stand against election subversion? Yes or no? Will you stand for democracy? Yes or no?
And here’s one thing every senator and every American should remember: History has never been kind to those who have sided with voter suppression over voters’ rights. And it will be even less kind for those who side with election subversion.
So, I ask every elected official in America: How do you want to be remembered?
At consequential moments in history, they present a choice: Do you want to be the si- — on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?
Biden states that not supporting his bill makes you a domestic enemy as a threat to democracy.
So much for unity and healing the nation…
Also, George Wallace, Bull Conner, and Jefferson Davis were Democrats, and Lincoln was a Republican.
I just want to know from the normies, they were butthurt when Trump called the lying media the enemy of the people. How do they feel about Biden calling half of Americans domestic enemies?
1984. Everything in the speech is the opposite of what they are trying to do.
Voter rights………. You mean anyone who is a citizen and not a felon can vote?? Ggeeeewhizz last I knew we alreadt HAVE that. Yup so much for “unity”.
“How do [the normies] feel about Biden calling half of Americans domestic enemies?”
At this point? Given what the media’s been pushing for years? Probably somewhere between “meh” and “okay,” for a lot of them.
Meh. I grew up in the Land of Grant and went college in the Land of Lincoln. I know where my loyalties lie, and it’s not with the Democrats.
That they need to demagogue this this hard is a serious sign of flop sweat desperation on the Democrats part. They just didn’t have the smarts and toughness… or skill, or charisma, or intelligence, or common touch, or just plain basic competence needed to push themselves over into a permanent uniparty majority.
The Biden Admin will very likely go down as one of the great political rescues of defeat from the jaws of victory- along with the passage of the Clinton AWB. Another situation where going all in on winning a battle will probably turn out to lose them the war.
The Democrats and left don’t view you as domestic enemies they view you as subhuman animals unworthy of life. They want nothing less than to kill you. You and literally every single living human being in the United States that is not them. Except illegals.
To them every single solitary United States citizen that opposes this “voting rights“ bill should be exterminated.
They want every single solitary United States citizen that Opposes ending the filibuster exterminated.
They want every single solitary person in the country that voted for Trump exterminated.
They want every single solitary Republican in office nationwide as well as every single registered Republican in the country exterminated.
They want literally every single gun owner in the country exterminated.
And everyone left? Well everyone left that is against any of that should also all be exterminated.
You can say this sounds insane and I know it does but tell me I’m wrong.
Which makes it clear that they have never read Machiavelli or Sun Tzu.
Holding that kind of open contempt for a majority of your country is utterly and totally stupid. Especially if they’re dumb and incompetent enough to express it openly.
Hate and anger isn’t enough to seize absolute power. Charisma, the air of competence, the ability to at least pretend to be fair, promising a better future- you need a lot more than any current leading Democrat offers right now.
They’re not strong enough to act on that hate, and they are getting weaker and less popular every day.
He’s taking alot of flack for this speech and he should. It was offensive.
So fucking tired of being told that if I don’t agree with the left, I’m a racist and terrorist. These people….
It’s like with the old story of the Boy who Cried Wolf. They’ve wayyyy overused ‘racist’ as an all purpose epithet and means of shaming people into compliance- and it’s not really working anymore.
When you can search and find that pretty much every single thing on this earth has some article on Salon or The Atlantic decrying it as ‘racist’ and ‘problematic’, it’s long jumped the shark.
Dr. King was a Republican, too.
100% rhetoric and sophistry. Not a word uttered about what it will do, just how you are bedfellows with racists if you oppose it.
It all makes sense. Biden’s regime has been all about picking the stupidest things done by Obama and doubling down on them. This is one of them — Obama frequently claimed that those who objected to his policies were evil people for doing so. Biden is doing exactly the same thing here.
The other thing to remember is that Biden has never been an honest person, though even more than Bill Clinton he has succeeded in pretending that he is, with the help of his media fellow travelers.
Then again, Former Presidents Clinton and Obama actually had charisma, and it shown through even without the media polish.
Biden… doesn’t, and never really did.
The problem with the big lie is that very often, the people promoting it come to believe it themselves. In this case, the media came to believe the big lie that because they could amplify and polish the public charisma of two charismatic men, they could do the same for an evil, ambitious, shrewish woman or a gaffe prone senile dud.
Biden calls us domestic terrorist, Clinton called us deplorables!
