So about Dark Brandon's speech last night...

[LainaGabranth]

God damn man, what a fuckin speech am I right? He finally comes out and just fucking says what we've all been seeing, that Trump and his cult are creative a divisive rift in America in such a way that they outright are trying to subvert and destroy democracy just to get their way. Anytime they lose an election for example they'll call it rigged. Hell, even just last night, after Alaska added ranked choice rating, some Republican grifter lost a seat and now the right is trying to burn ranked choice voting and anti-democratic.

Finally, Biden is based.

 

[KingVamp]

They actually had a chance to win that seat due to RCV, yet some of the Republican voters still didn't vote for her.

No ones questioning the very odd lighting choice?

 

[Deleted member 114266]

From the former liberal who founded the walkway campaign.

 

[LainaGabranth]

Very funny seeing the right suddenly pretend that violent rhetoric from a president is NOW an issue, even though Biden only said that insurrection isn't democratic.

Where were you guys when Trump said everyone who burns the flag should be deported? Or that anyone who criticizes the founding fathers should be jailed? Now you anti-American scum get outed for being what you are and you're VERY upset about it.

I'm glad you finally have that view point. Now about the riots/insurrections in the major cities over the last six years. Were those also un-democratic? The burning of cars, and beating of people in DC the day of Trump's inauguration, was that also un-democratic?

 

[City]

I'm sure that antagonizing half the country like he did will have no negative consequences whatsoever.

If you guys get violent because he called you anti-American then that is on *you.* Not on him. Dingus.

Only one person last night was calling for violence. It's an odd decision to do so two months before the mid term elections. It seems like it will driving more of the undesirables to the polls.

This timeline is the best timeline.

ACCELERATE

Who is "you"? I'm not a republican. I'm not even American. I'm just watching it all from a neutral point of view and I can confirm that your country is extremely fucked up. My biggest hope is that none of the shit that will inevitably overflow won't spill in other countries. It's already bad as it is when some americans visit spain and get offended when they learn what they use to say "black".

Then you can easily quote his "violent rhetoric"

 

[Xzi]

All he did was state the obvious, but it's about time. If your loyalty is to a single person, and a rich East coast elitist nonetheless, you don't actually give a shit about what happens to the country or the majority of its citizens. Trump is and always has been a fucking cancer, long before he even entered into the arena of politics.

Just scoped out the minutes/transcript of the speech and at no point does Biden outright advocate violence. He, in fact, denounces using violence several times throughout the speech. There are quite a few times (I think four) that he states that he will 'defend' against the MAGA Republicans and 'white extremists'. Also asks the nation to join him in doing so 2.5 times.

Is he outright saying to attack? No. Is it easy to misconstrue/read into? Very much so. It's inflammatory, and to say otherwise is a bit shortsighted. As I said before though, ACCELERATE.

Now do Trump's Jan 6th speech that he was impeached over.

 

[Xzi]

Now do Trump's Jan 6th speech that he was impeached over.

The one where he says the word "fight" like fifty times?

Hell, let's not even pretend this Biden speech came out of nowhere, there's been a biblical flood of death threats toward FBI agents, judges, politicians, and their families ever since the seizure of illegally-held documents from Mar-a-lago. Let's see how many Republicans are actually willing to die on behalf of this criminal sack of shit. Bring the indictments already.

Might be off topic since the thread was about Biden's speech, but will do.

None. Many will caterwaul, but none are willing to die on this hill. Just like every other issue/stance/statement made in this country.

Is that different from Congressman Steve Scalise being shot with the attacker planning to have shot have hoping to kill overs?

The violent storming of the capital during the hearing for Brett Kavanaugh.

The calls for public harassment of politicians.

We have been divided for a very long time and their rhetoric isn't making it better.

Well, one already died trying to shoot up an FBI office. I agree though that the percentage of Republicans with the balls to actually act on their rhetoric is very low.

A populous divided is a populous easily controlled.

I don't think (if you're referring to Ashli Babbit) they went in planning, or even accepting the idea that they wouldn't be waking up the next day. I don't think it's just Republicans either, it's all Americans no matter what side of the coin you're on. Many are willing to fight for a cause, maybe even kill. The thought of actually dying, to be a martyr for a cause however, is one that I'd say (and could very well be wrong, and if so I'll recant that) many wouldn't deign to make.
