From Sleepy Joe to a destroyer of the American way of life, Trumps attacks on Biden make a dystopian shiftPresident Trump has launched a slash-and-burn campaign against an exaggerated caricature of his Democratic opponent, casting former vice president Joe Biden as a destroyer of basic freedoms and a threat to voters safety who would let terrorists roam free and abolish the American way of life.
His new dystopian vision, with militant and extreme language not typical in American politics, marks a sharp departure from Trumps previous effort to cast Biden as Sleepy Joe, an establishment politician with deteriorating mental abilities. It marks the latest effort, orchestrated by the Trumps advisers, to shift the conversation from rising coronavirus infections and deteriorating public support for the presidents pandemic response.
In new advertising, tweets and public statements that began to appear earlier this month, Trump has argued that the presumptive Democratic nominee is a harbinger of chaos and destruction, depicting a fantastical scarecrow largely divorced from reality.
Joe Biden and the Radical Left want to Abolish Police, Abolish ICE, Abolish Bail, Abolish Suburbs, Abolish the 2nd Amendment and Abolish the American Way of Life. No one will be SAFE in Joe Bidens America! Trump tweeted Wednesday. In fact, Biden opposes calls to abolish police or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, seeks new gun regulations under current judicial interpretations of the Constitution and sees the nations suburban voters, especially women, as a core part of his political base.

If enough people die, trumpy, you will be the one abolishing the suburbs. There will be no one left to live there.

(64,413 posts)...would anybody "abolish the suburbs"?
Appropriate about 50 million homes, make them live in their cars within city limits?
This is epic stupidity.
