Joe Biden's MAGA mania

 Washington Examiner:

Standing outside the building that produced two of the greatest documents about liberty and freedom in the history of civilization, President Joe Biden authoritatively condemned approximately half of the country's voters who disagree with him. Constitutional liberties apparently mean nothing to the self-proclaimed "great unifier," as Biden chastised all those who dare speak out against him. It was pure demagoguery meant to distract from the disastrous first 20 months of the Biden administration. He warned of "an attempt to nullify the votes of 81 million people" by vilifying 74 million others as an imminent threat. It was one of the darkest presidential moments in our nation's history.

"Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal," Biden said in his ominous and divisive speech. "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic."

Using our nation's colonial roots was a cheap political stunt. The only thing missing from the colonial backdrop of last night's political theater was Biden doing a reenactment in Philadelphia of Paul Revere's famous horse ride through Boston, warning, "The MAGAs are coming! The MAGAs are coming!"

But what really isn't normal is an American president denigrating over 70 million people. Biden's inflammatory rhetoric is nothing new. Even the mass hysteria with which he disparaged his Republican opponents is par for Biden's course. But falsely labeling his political opponents as an imminent threat while portraying himself as the virtuous and compassionate hero is a despicable new low.

...

It seems clear that Biden has lost the ability to restrain his anger toward those who do not support him. He also appears to lack a staff that can critique his remarks and tells him when he has stepped over a line.  He has to wait until the next day for the obvious blowback to his misjudment.
