    Broke: "Imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever."

    Woke: "Imagine two far right, racist liberal parties each breathlessly accusing the other of being communist forever."

      Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

    Biden hasn't changed but republicans suddenly went from laughing at him for being inept and senile to publicly breaking down and crying after his every statement

    Republicans: We're going to take over election machinery so we can't lose

    Joe Brandon: The MAGA right is trying to subvert democracy

    Republicans: :walter-shock:

      the dems aren't even doing anything about it, but mentioning the problem is a step too far

        Biden mentioned it while backlit in red and shot from below. This makes him a gommulist dictator

    Conservatives learned a long time ago that when liberals castigate them for something, many times liberals will try to appear 'reasonable' and back down if the conservatives get frothing mad about it, even if the thing conservatives were being accused of is both true and insanely heinous. And the libs eventually leave it and move on to the next terrible thing, doing nothing but pointing out the acts the entire time.

    Conservatives have always and will always win out in the US, even when they are the minority party in both chambers (barring rather serious change, of course :owned: )

    This is the speech. The red lighting is absolutely the stupidest thing for them to get mad about.

      I have no idea what Dems were doing with this aesthetic. Like are they trying to seem evil?

        Not just that, the conservative asshat who wrote the original tweet in the OP also shopped a big USSR style hammer and sickle on Brandon's podium, which again, uhh based if true (it's not)

          Yeah wasn’t talking about the shopped hamsick, just the aesthetic and lighting and camera angles and framing of that speech. Very Kubrick and jarring and strange, makes Biden look like the Star Wars emperor

          They think it's an insult to Biden, but it's really an insult to the hammer & sickle

        It was red white and blue lighting up the building which looks great(if you like what they represent) in wide shots and likely in person but when you frame it on the podium with a camera you only see the red.

    As far as I can tell: Biden was in Philly and took the opportunity to reiterate what MAGA governors and state legislators have been saying openly for months.

    I like the new phase since Trump of claiming election fraud and calling the president on the other side illegitimate but taking zero steps against them.

      can't forget trump really entered the political world on the back of "obama is a secret kenyan and is not eligible to be president"
