Donald Trump and his MAGA cult have become increasingly dangerous since he lost the presidential election in 2020. They have refused to accept the will of the people. They have worked tirelessly to undermine democracy. And they even tried to stage a coup by violently attacking Congress on January 6th, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Trump was found to have been hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort\/home, posing enormous risks to national security. And after being caught, he began <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54482\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">making exponentially more absurd excuses for his crimes<\/a><\/strong> and his lies to the FBI. All of this has led to Trump and his cult followers turning more to violence and threats of violence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54436\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lindsey Graham Tells Fox News that \u2018There Will Be Riots in the Streets\u2019 if Trump is Prosecuted<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what Biden sought to alert the nation about in his speech. It was a non-partisan message that expressly drew a distinction between mainstream Republicans (to the extent that any still exist) and the MAGA Republicans who have pledged their devotion to Dear Leader Trump. In that regard, Biden made several references to Trump&#8217;s hateful MAGA movement. For the record, is here what Biden said about the hostile and openly seditionist MAGA-nauts (video below, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/09\/01\/remarks-by-president-bidenon-the-continued-battle-for-the-soul-of-the-nation\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">transcript here<\/a><\/strong>)&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;MAGA Republicans have made their choice.  They embrace anger.  They thrive on chaos.  They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans: We must be stronger, more determined, and more committed to saving American democracy than MAGA Republicans are to destroying American democracy.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated.  And that\u2019s where MAGA Republicans are today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair.  They spread fear and lies \u2013 lies told for profit and power. But I see a very different America \u2014 an America with an unlimited future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The MAGA Republicans believe that for them to succeed, everyone else has to fail.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;History tells us that blind loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to democracy.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53357\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is Covertly Recruiting More Violent Insurrectionists With Promises of Future Pardons<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Trump couldn&#8217;t refrain from weighing in with his customary distortions of reality. in a <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/108926847473622319\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">comment<\/a> that he posted on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54389&#038;cpage=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, Trump wrote that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you look at the words and meaning of the awkward and angry Biden speech tonight, he threatened America, including with the possible use of military force.

Biden never <em>&#8220;threatened America,&#8221;<\/em> or suggested using military force in any way. Trump&#8217;s failure to provide a quote is evidence of his shameless dishonesty and\/or cognitive collapse. He&#8217;s just flinging feces at the wall to see if anything will stick.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ironic that Trump asserts that Biden is <em>&#8220;insane, or suffering from late stage dementia!.&#8221;<\/em> Given his inability to coherently comment on Biden&#8217;s speech, his imaginary description of what the speech was about, and his pitifully predictable hostility triggered by fake recollections, it&#8217;s Trump who appears to be distancing himself from the real world.
