Ever since his Great Big Hate Speech, Biden has playing around with different formulations of âextreme MAGA Republicans,â trying to find one that doesnât make him sound like the love child of Grandpa Simpson and Mussolini. Each iteration is weaker than the previous one, with the rhetorical strength wheezing out and the whole thing going flat, like air gushing out of an overinflated colostomy bag. The Former Senator published his latest clarification yesterday:
Having already chucked âsemi-fascist,â this time Joe dropped his âthreat to democracyâ language in favor of the milder version, âtaking us backwards.â Going backwards is a lot less alarming than facing a âthreat to democracy.â In many ways, backwards would be a relief for a lot of people.
Anyway, hopefully all this backtracking reassures people that Joe isnât about to issue brown shirts to all those 87,000 new IRS agents and send them marching after us.
At least, not yet.
It was easy to see this coming. MAGA Republicans are only Joeâs current âthreat of the year.â Last year, what worried Joe the most was the threat of âthe unvaccinated.â And you saw how THAT one turned out.
Iâve been thinking we should organize a club or something, for everyone whoâs been labeled a threat by the leader of the greatest superpower on planet Earth. As for me, Iâm a repeat offender, a DOUBLE threat. I should at least get some badges or something. What do you think?
