Biden Fundraising Tour: "To Destroy Democracy"

Over the last month, the Democrats compared Trump to Hitler non-stop for his use of the word “vermin” to describe opponents but it appears to be another case of psychological projection—accusing others of what they are guilty of themselves. Previously the media and Joe Biden used the term “vermin” to describe opponents. And of course, Biden has repeatedly demonized approximately half the country’s voters, MAGA Republicans, as “extremists” out to “destroy democracy”, even referring to “enemies from within” during the 2020 campaign trail.

BIDEN 7/11/19: We are facing entered enemies both without and from within, hoping to exploit the fissures and our society, undermine democracy, break up our alliances, return us to an international system that might determines right.

Now Biden is exploiting these fissures himself, raising money by demonizing the 74 million Americans who didn’t vote for him in 2020. In private fundraisers this past month alone, Biden has referred to MAGA Republicans as enemies out “to destroy democracy” at least a dozen times.
