So here’s a question for those Republicans: What exactly in Biden’s speech was
wrong?
Many objections have been general: Republicans say his speech disparaged >millions, that it was angry, or divisive, or political, or hateful, or depicted
Republicans as the enemy.
In coming days, these Republicans will retreat into right-wing media safe spaces

Let’s take Biden’s most fundamental claim about the MAGA-fied GOP and democracy:
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens
the very foundations of our Republic.
Biden elaborated:
MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the
rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to
accept the results of a free election.
Some Republicans insist they do respect the Constitution and the rule of law.
But Biden carefully distinguished between MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans, casting
only the former in these terms.

Every word Biden said about MAGAs is spot-on correct. MAGAs *are* the enemy.--
They are to be despised, scorned, marginalized and, in many cases, *locked up*.
And if they pull another Jan 6 style insurrection, they are to be Ashli
Babbitt-ed like rabid dogs.
It didn't happen.
Ok, it did but not that way.
Ok, it happened that way but it's not illegal.
Ok, it's illegal but *I* didn't do it.
