Thursday September 1st, in his speech in Philadelphia, President Biden declared that,

"Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic."

"Now, I want to be very clear, very clear up front. Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know, because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans."

"But there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country."

The previous was a continuous section of the speech. Later in it, he added,

"MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country."

Does he actually believe these statements? Are Great Grandpa Joe and his Party truthfully concerned that MAGA Republicans pose a significant threat to the continued existence of our government? Because if so, how can you possible justify the fact that Democrats across this country are marshaling support for these very MAGA Republicans when they find themselves in primaries or runoff elections against those mainstream Republicans Biden mentions? If these candidates are that dangerous to the nation, why support them and risk they gain office? On the other hand, if they will be so much easier for Democrats to defeat than their mainstream opponents, then isn't the premise of the speech complete and utter bullshit? MAGA is no threat at all. Hell, the DNC apparently welcomes running against them.

Which one is it, Biden's speechwriters?
