President Joe Biden says there's an extremist movement that doesn't share the basic beliefs of democracy.

President Joe Biden is arguing that “there is something dangerous happening in America” as he revives his warnings that Donald Trump and his allies represent an existential threat to the country’s democratic institutions.

“There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA movement,” Biden says in excerpts of the speech Thursday in Arizona, released in advance by the White House, referring Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.

Although voting in the 2024 Republican primary doesn’t begin for months, Biden’s focus reflects Trump’s status as the undisputed frontrunner for his party’s nomination despite facing four indictments, two of them related to his attempts to overturn Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

    Well voting isn’t going to actually get rid of these people. They’ll still be here after the election no matter who wins.

    Getting rid of them requires other action.

      Oh, I see. You want to start murdering people. Go ahead and start. I’m sure the rest of us will be right behind you.

        Only the ones that deserve it of course. We’re not monsters. Probably won’t need virtue signaling “liberals” (daily reminder that there are no leftists in power) or the fascist cult member dickheads that call themselves conservatives regardless though.

          So when are you going to start the murdering? What are you waiting for?

            when are you going to protect me like you pretend to be when you vote in this ‘democracy’

            and where the hell did you get that I just want to do some aimless murder spree of everyone ever, that doesn’t make sense! What are you talking about?

              Why should I protect you?

              And I didn’t say it was aimless.

                ‘Start the murdering’ isn’t full of context, sister. If you wanted your sentence to be interpreted the way you wanted, you should have written it better.

                  I’m not a woman. You get a lot of things wrong.

        I said no such thing!

        My enemies deserve the chance to be rehabilitated in work camps - so really what we need is to make the election irrelevant if you know what I mean.
