"SNIP.......

“President Biden on Thursday night launched a push toward the midterm elections with a fiery speech in Rockville, Md., in which he cast the Republican Party as one that was dangerously consumed with anti-democratic forces that had turned toward semi-fascism,” the Washington Post reports.

“It was some of the strongest language used by Biden, a politician long known — and at times criticized for — his willingness to work with members of the opposite party.”

Said Biden: “The MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and economic security. They’re a threat to our very democracy. They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace — embrace — political violence. They don’t believe in democracy.”

He added: “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something — it’s like semi-fascism.”

1. I think he's wrong. It's full on fascism, no semi to it. nt

[Deuxcents]

4. Agree..been saying the F word for a long time

He’s being diplomatic, maybe, but he’s putting it out there. Call em out every time. We’re on a roll n cannot slack off..not saying we are..just cheerleading b/c we have the wind to our backs now. Cannot become complacent..forgive me..for once in a long time, my state of Florida has the best dem candidates n soo long n I’m in high hopes here ✅

[Phoenix61]

5. I'm in the Panhandle. Very pumped up here.

The Dem party wants to hire a campaign worker for the county. It’s the first time the party has done a damn thing here.

6. O..my Friend..so red up there like where I am.

Lawrence on the Last Word just again highlighted our Senator n thief, Rick Scott. He’s off to Italy on vacation while his coffers he’s in charge of are going bone dry! It just seems the stars are lining up for change but..I’m not naive to think it’s all gonna happen at once..it’s just a great start n the energy is noticeable. I’ll be forever thinking our President has made the difference. 🌺

15. If true, then there will be murders soon

Hitler had the leadership of the Brownshirts murdered when he deemed the support of the corporations and military was more important then the support of his thugs.

3. Go, Dark Brandon. I love it. Keep it up to the mid-terms, Joe.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. Stay on offense, Joe.

He hammered home that NOT a single Republican voted for Cheaper drugs for Seniors, building microchips in America, climate change, etc.

We need more of this Joe on the campaign trail. He KNOWS he needs a Congress he can work with. He knows what it will take.

[CentralMass]

14. +1

[colsohlibgal]

8. Not Toward

They are full blown fascists, nothing semi about it. Let’s hope this shocks enough moderate Republicans to join Democrats in sending Abbot and his like packing.

9. His use of "semi"

shows he is still bipartisan (grin)

[Thomas Hurt]

10. Christofascists want to install a one-party, authoritarian christian theocracy.

[Kaleva]

16. What are your plans if that happens?

Are you going to strive to fit in or do you have plans in place to bug out?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. That's a false dichotomy.

[Kaleva]

18. No it isnt

If one is worried about a home fire, they'll most likely install smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, have fire extinguishers on hand and have an evacuation plan. If one isn't worried about home fires, they'll do nothing. They may say they are worried but their lack of preparation proves they aren't.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. You offered "fit in" or "bug out". That's 2 options, but they are not the only 2. False dichotomy.

[Kaleva]

21. What are the other viable options?

Staying and resisting would likely lead to death or imprisonment. Not just for an individual but for their families.

Fascists eliminate opposition. Germany, Italy, Argentina, Spain are examples of what happens when fascists take over.

[eShirl]

11. anti-semi-fa

[MyMission]

12. It's about time he used that "F" word!

It's a good start. But towards semi-fascism is putting it mildly. Still, I guess it's a good way to introduce the subject for those out there that don't realize what fascism is and how close we are.

No mincing words. Call a fascist a fascist. Even better call them christofascists!
That's what they mostly are. Some are less christo and more fascist, and vice versa, but they're all on the same crazy warship.

[Hekate]

13. Good for him. Somebody has to say it, and I'm glad it's President Biden

[fightforfreedom]

19. It's about time, I recently posted he should use the word fascism.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

22. +1. but I think President Biden waited until it was beyond all reasonable doubt

that the worshipers of the MAGAt king are undeniably a fascist cult before choosing to publicly call them what they indisputably really are.
