Biden is going to unite us they said. Yeah it’s so uniting to say trying to have secure elections is the greatest threat since the Civil War

Everything is the greatest threat since....

At some point, the wolf is actually going to be at the door, but no one will believe.

Blah Blah Blah...The Democrats always seem to create an enemy to hate, so they can pander to their base on how they will fight these imaginary foes for them.

At some point, I would think even the most dense of individuals would catch on to this.

I think the first president to suggest using nukes on the American people is a bigger threat.

“We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. That’s not hyperbole, since the Civil War.”

When you call out your own hyperbole... it's hyperbole.

So looking the the various references and descriptors...

- the Civil War reference is above
- “The Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January the 6th,”
- “The focus will be challenging racially discriminatory voting laws, like the recent challenge to Georgia’s vicious anti-voting law,”
- The “21st Century Jim Crow assault is real, it’s unrelenting,”

I think he is using the full gamut of hyperbole and racial gaslighting.

Channeling Stalin...

He said the quiet part out loud again.

"It's about who gets to count the votes"

https://twitter.com/scuba2024/status...24546269257737


----------

You will see some "fact checkers" claim that Stalin did not say this, but he did.

Says Joseph Stalin said, "It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."
No, Joseph Stalin didn't say this statement about elections


But way down in the article...

But Mark Kramer, director of the Cold War studies program at Harvard University, pointed us to something close. In memoirs written after his retirement, Boris Bazhanov, Stalin’s former personal secretary, claimed that Stalin said: "Я считаю, что совершенно неважно, кто и как будет в партии голосовать; но вот что чрезвычайно важно, это кто и как будет считать голоса." It translates to: "I regard it as completely unimportant who in the party will vote and how, but it is extremely important who will count the votes and how."

Bazhanov said Stalin was talking about the voting procedures for higher organs of the Communist Party, according to Kramer.



Biden is parroting procedures from a well known communist.

I've never seen Biden as angry as he was on this very subject.
Yet so unemotional when it comes to encouraging vaccinations.

Yes Biden went too far but it's rather hysterical for Trump supporters to complain about hyperbole.

Yeah - Trump does it as well. So what?
