Joe Biden’s Rhetoric Is A Clear And Present Danger To The Republic

✪ Perhaps the only good thing about Joe Biden’s speech last night was it didn’t have a color scheme directly out of V for Vendetta or Marines in the background. Whoever organizes these things at least learned from that. However, it still looked and sounded as if Biden was about to declare martial law, suspend habeas corpus and make everyone read Gender Queer and How To Be An Anti-Racist at gunpoint in a gulag…

The bad news is no one cared about that speech except conservatives. They care even less about this one.

With the final midterm countdown underway, voters have made it clear that they care about the economy and crime. Anyone who finds the “threat to democracy” routine persuasive is already a solid blue voter and ActBlue donor who probably showed up for at least one D.C. protest.

This isn’t just pandering to the base, it’s pandering to the Elizabeth Warren base:

Biden’s call to “vote knowing what’s at stake and not just the policy of the moment, but institutions that have held us together as we’ve sought a more perfect union are also at stake” is an admission that his faction has lost the policy argument and doesn’t have anything else to offer Americans.

While his delivery was laughable, the premise underlying isn’t. Biden speeches may not interest voters, but they continue to push the dangerous totalitarian message that “democracy” is exclusively embodied by Democrats and threatened by Republicans; and, if Democrats fail to win, then the result will be the end of America.

That kind of rhetoric is typical, but under Obama and Biden, it’s now being backed up by arrests, investigations, surveillance, raids, imprisonment, censorship and the whole banana republic gamut.

The same speech delivered by the leader of a free country and say Vladimir Putin or Xi sound very different because they have really different implications. Biden, once again declaring that the opposition is a collection of “dark forces” that “thirst for power” and will destroy democracy is election rhetoric, but it’s also become an actionable item for the DOJ, the FBI and Big Tech firms.

Biden’s rhetoric is a threat to the Republic, not because words are scary, but because his allies have shown that they employ such rhetoric as cover for imposing Democrat totalitarian realities. ✪
