Even WaPo thought Biden's speech was wrong

They still miss the main point that the concept of MAGA Republicans is a very bad attempt at more gaslighting and demonizing as a whole, but at least they saw that the speech was a bomb.  

Mr. Biden was wrong to conflate upholding the rule of law with his own partisan agenda, which he called “the work of democracy.” You can be for democracy but against the president’s policy proposals to use government to lower prescription-drug prices and combat climate change. “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love,” Mr. Biden proclaimed. But many conservatives — not just “MAGA forces” — agree with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. It was disappointing that Mr. Biden chose to omit that the infrastructure, gun-control and burn-pits legislation he praised had passed with Republican votes. Pointing this out would actually have strengthened his effort to draw a contrast between “MAGA Republicans” and “mainstream Republicans.”

The reality here is that Biden has nothing positive to offer. When he pretends that the economy is good or pretends that some of these policies are popular, he just looks stupid and out of touch. He needs to "fire up the base" and that is what these sort of hateful rhetorical speeches are. An attempt to fire up the base, even at the expense of pushing others away. 

One of the toughest things for Presidents is drawing that line between being President of the United States and being the leader of their Party. Most Presidents have taken at least some care in attempting to separate the two. But this was not just a campaign speech for Democrats just a few weeks before the midterm elections, but it was by all accounts a vile nasty dark speech that was attacking in nature. But the bigger problem was that he gave it not as a Democrat giving a campaign speech, but as the President of the United States. 

That crosses so many lines. But Biden wants you to believe he has to cross them.

The first step in being able to justify certain actions that are outside the norms of a society is to make people believe that it is a necessary "reaction" to what others are doing.  Hitler did not just come out and say that Germany needed to jail and kill Jews. He started by spending a great deal of time demonizing them to the German public, so when the time came to round them up, the German public was accepting if not a willing partner. 

There is no question that Biden and the powers of the Government are doing things well outside the boundaries of normal political behavior. From pressuring social media to censor negative stories about Democrats (Zuckerberg) to tossing non-violent protesters in jail for crimes like parading or unlawful entry to possibly charging the leading GOP Presidential candidate for a process crime after raiding his home with 30 armed FBI agents. 

They believe that all of these un-American and unprecedented actions are justified, because it's the other side that is behaving outside of the norms. They have convinced many people in their own Party of the same. 

They have convinced their faithful that while it is perfectly acceptable for BLM protesters to injure hundreds of police, cause billions in damages, destroy personal property, and even kill a few people in the process... it is necessary to throw a 60 year old Grandmother in jail for carrying a flag pole with an American flag too close to the Capitol building.  It is not the actions you see, but the reasoning behind it. Protesting racism allows you to throw a firebomb or two, attack a police officer, and be bailed out with funds put together by Democratic politicians. But protesting an election result is such an extreme anti-American idea (at least when Republicans do it) that it justifies throwing people in jail for nonviolent protest. That is banana republic third world dictator stuff. 

Meanwhile, Democrats have proven that someone doesn't have to actually commit a crime to make them vulnerable to being seen as a criminal. For close to six years everyone from the FBI, to the CIA, to Special Counsel, to local law enforcement, to state law enforcement, to Congress, to Veronica Mars has investigated Donald Trump for more criminal behavior than anyone can count. Thousand and thousands of man hours and millions and millions of dollars have been spent. 

Not a single charge has been filed. 

Yet, there are still Americans out there who believe the extreme measure of raiding his home with 30 armed agents over a document dispute and possibly charging him with a process crime developed from the 35th  unnecessary criminal investigation is totally acceptable... because well... look at all those investigations. He must be guilty of something if he is being investigated so much?

In other words, the extreme outside the norms of American behavior being displayed by Garland, Wray and the federal law enforcement is seen as "justified" because it is reaction from the more extreme behavior of being one of the 53% of the American public who believes that the 2020 election was not conducted fairly or legally. (Wisconsin Supreme Court already admitted that their 2020 election was not held legally)  Heck 80% believe Trump would have won had the FBI not had coordinated with social media to censor the Hunter Biden lap top story. 

Those 80% are probably correct as are the 53% who believe the election was not run fairly or even legally. But of course me saying this makes me the extreme person in the eyes of Joe Biden and his dwindling following. That justifies extreme un-American actions against me. I should probably be arrested for holding this opinion. I should go to jail for writing as much. At least that is the argument being made by our President.
