Biden finally accomplished something worthwhile last night…calling trump and his followers what they are..extremists and threats to democracy. No fan of Biden but he’s absolutely correct.

Time for republicans to get rid of trump and start winning elections.

How is the average Trump voter a threat to democracy? What do you and he define as democracy because the United States is not a democracy.

Ville this comment is extreme even for you.

How? Because they vote for trump who is a threat, and fine a threat to a constitutional republic.

Are you saying that those who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 are extremists?

Any thoughts on Biden's speech last night?

I think he pointed out there are many, perhaps the majority of Republicans who believe in the rule of law, peaceful transfer of power, etc.
But unfortunately the party is being steered by the last president and some extremist elements who believe things like violence being the answer to an election you lost...and that is not good for our country.

What violence are you referencing? ONE riot at the capitol. Remove the plank from your eyes Paul.

Users on social media platforms. Keep reaching, you're sure to grab onto something. I'll see you when you get there Paul.

Edit: This is lazy journalism. Biden gives speech. Atlantic scours the internet to find posts to back up the speech. Meanwhile, we had an assassination attempt on a SCOTUS Judge and meh, nothing to see here. This is first class gaslighting Paul. Get smarter.

Didn't take much "scouring" on their part. Ted Cruz, Steve Bannon, Gateway Pundit, Gingrich...and the list goes on.

Calling for actual or metaphorical violence? I'm old enough to remember D's telling supporters to get in the face of/assault political opponents. Neither is right and it's interesting you focus on one side only. It could be just as easily said the Left is a threat to the Republic but that is not productive.
