Democrats suddenly drop the ‘Hitler’ act
President-elect Donald Trump joined President Joe Biden in the White House on Wednesday, with smiles all around and a commitment from Biden to ensure a smooth transition. In a vacuum, this seems as it should be. But when one remembers the hysteria whipped up by Biden about Trump, it’s quite remarkable.
Who could forget that just two years ago, President Biden chose to address the nation in Pennsylvania about the threat Trump and his supporters posed to the nation.
“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said.
He continued, “They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.”
Fast forward two years, and little had changed rhetorically, with Vice President Kamala Harris denouncing Trump as a “fascist.”
And yet, here we are, with Trump not only winning the election but also winning the popular vote and being greeted warmly by those who called him a threat to democracy and a fascist.
If Trump is indeed a fascist and a threat to American democracy, how could this be? Are Biden and Harris abdicating leadership by not standing up and fighting for democracy? The most reasonable explanation here is that neither Biden nor Harris actually believed what they said and just spewed extreme rhetoric because they thought it sounded convincing.
