Do you think there should be more outrage that Biden dehumanized ALL MAGA Republicans?

[NewtoTheSouth]

He said, "MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic." But we all know MAGA Republicans who are good people. Not all of them broke into the capitol or are terrorists. This is like saying ALL devout Muslim are terrorists. Sure, some are, but it's wrong to dehumanize an entire group of people based on the actions of a few, right?

[RolandCuthbert]

Nope!

If you can't accept the truth about the election. If you claim we have to destroy the democratic process just so your guy can win. . . then he was totally right.

And trump the turd said much worse. But we were supposed to believe he didn't mean all Mexicans, Muslims, or "Blacks".

Get that nonsense out of here.

Here is a Republican who is as Conservative as it gets.

Nah.

MAGA Republicans are a subset of Republican. He only correctly described the portion of the party that literally committed sedition. Which, as a refresher, is a felony.

He also didn't dehumanize them. He just accurately described them as a threat to US democracy. Which, again, they're literal seditionists.

He didn't paint all Republicans with this brush. Just ones who idolize and adhere to a decidedly extremeist MAGA view.

"Make America Great Again" is a terrible slogan - America wasn't ever great. Not for everyone. Not like modern times. People who want America to return to the past literally want to remove things that, today, are agreed on human rights.

That's not a very positive thing, especially when you consider who will suffer if that happens.

[Anonymous]

But he didn’t dehumanize them, at least not in that quote you gave. He is right, that the MAGA movement revolves on some terroristic ideals. Doesn’t mean that everyone in the movement is necessarily bad or extreme, but they support a terroristic movement. Islam is the same way. The Quran, the Islamic doctrine is extremely violent and brutish. It doesn’t mean the people are evil or mean, and there are nice Muslims who are better than their book. Same with Christians.


Perhaps, instead of trying to victimize yourself, you try to learn about the arguments for the other side and come up with an argument to defend your position, or adapt your position as you educate yourself.

[joeldalton]

Define the MAGA Movement. Because I can define islamic terrorism.

[Opinion Owner]

MAGA, or “Make America Great Again”, is a movement largely supported by white, republican males that promotes traditional, conservative lifestyles and habits. This includes removing women from the workplace and keeping them as housemaids or birthing machines, pushing people of color back into subservient positions and denying them advancement in society, kicking out or punishing immigrants and their families (usually people of color), etc. There’s also push for Christianity to be brought into public schools and for the government to be based around a theological structure. This movement is anti-equality and anti-free speech/religion. It’s anti-American, if anything.

Sure, you can define Islamic terrorism, so what? We aren’t talking about Islamic terrorism, we are talking about terrorism against the American government, a movement supported in large part, and undertaken, by the MAGA movement.

[joeldalton]

Christ. You sound like the perfect NPC. Oh. So the black people that support trump. What are they? And the women? The ever increasing Hispanics who are getting tired of democrat policies? What about them?

And you brought up Islamic terrorism. Not me.

[Opinion Owner]

You asked for a definition, and I gave you a definition… so why are you mad? As well, perhaps you might try reading what I wrote again? I said it is largely based around white, republican males, but I never excluded any other people. There can be black people who support MAGA, just as there can be hispanics, Asians, women, and more. They may not support the full agenda, but they involve themselves in the premises.

And no, you wrote about Islamic terrorism in your prompt, and I responded to your prompt, so you brought it up for comparison.

Do you have any rebuttal outside of just petty insults and “nuh-uhs”?

[joeldalton]

When you define MAGA republicans as “keeping women as housemaids or birthing machines and pushing people of color into subservient positions” you are not living in reality. Nothing you said is remotely truthful. How could I rebut someone who is clearly mentally ill?

[Opinion Owner]

I see, so you don’t like that I defined MAGA by pointing out its conservative stances. You would have preferred something more glorifying, like “A group of people who want to take America back to its days of prosperity and ingenuity.” And that’s fine, you can define it that way, but then you have to ask, how do they plan on doing that, and a lot of the members will point out the methods I mentioned above: bring women out of the workforce and keeping them in traditional household roles, allowing men to be the sole breadwinners (which is a religious idea, for one), bringing prayers and “God” into schools, and getting rid of the immigrants/POC. The idea of improving America is honest, at least, but the MAGA movement around Trump is not.

Again, do you have any rebuttals outside of petty insults and “nuh-uhs “?

[joeldalton]

once again, when you blatantly lie and say shit like “they want to throw immigrants out of the country” you are irrational and really not living in reality. I can’t debate someone who’s mind is so twisted by propaganda that they don’t even understand simple concepts. You are pretending that you’ve got some high intellectual thought process, but it’s really not.

[Opinion Owner]

@joeldalton I see, so you are so intolerant that you refuse to actually discuss topics of controversy. Although, from your responses, I'm guessing you haven't actually done much research into this, or properly formatted your position, which is why you rely on trying to denounce my being rather than actual arguments.

[joeldalton]

Lol, intolerance. Got. It. Ok prove that these “maga republicans” want to kick out all immigrants. I’ll wait.

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

MAGA is supported on a wide scale of colors.

[Opinion Owner]

And I never said otherwise….

[MCheetah]

I would say the Biden Administration are shooting themselves in the foot, but I said that in 2020 as well. When you cheat and rig elections, who needs politeness or professionalism. Hell, even Hillary did it with her "basket of deplorables" line back in 2016, remember? Her only problem was not cheating hard enough. Also don't forget Biden was saying "niggas ain't black unless they suck my dick" back in 2020, remember? Yeah, they 100% plan on cheating again for midterms.

[MountAverage]

There should be more outraged about MAGA Republicans.

1) There are normal, moderate Muslims.
2) Some Muslims are Islamists.
3) Islamists are terrorists or at least terrorist supporters.
---
1) There are normal, moderate Republicans.
2) Some Republicans are MAGA Republicans.
3) MAGA Republicans are dangerously radicalized cult of fundamentalist extremists.

Everything Biden said about MAGA Republicans is 100%. There's nothing "dehumanizing" about it. It's the MAGA extremists who constantly dehumanize everyone who isn't part of their cult.

[Avicenna]

It's part of a larger problem- a hatred of them by the Democrats and a weaponization of the federal government against them. Politicians and some federal government employees have done some illegal stuff that they want to cover up, and politicians, business elites, bureaucrats and others are also grifters that want business as usual to continue, i. e., them being able to loot the country with impunity.

[jshm2]

No. He should get the Nobel peace prize for exposing such a great and cancerous evil in America.

Jim Crow and the KKK, MAGA and the Republicans.

White inbreds with chips on their shoulders seem to appear and cause trouble too often in American history.

[exitseven]

i just chalk it up to the fact that democrats are afraid they will get voted out of office so they will try anything. Raiding President Trumps personal residence, calling half the country fascists, blaming all their failures on President Trump, nothing is off the table. I would not be surprised if Biden somehow gets killed and Trump is framed for the murder.

[goaded]

I love the fact that you lot keep insisting that you're "half the country". I expect you spent the last 20 years complaining every time a Republican leader called Democrats socialists or communists.

[exitseven]

@goaded Ibet it is more than half the country by now., A lot more than half.

[goaded]

Then you're completely out of touch with reality.

[Chazmatazz269]

Do i think more people should be snowflakes about being called names by the reigning king of snowflakes?
Did you put ANY thought into this question? Ell oh ell!

[Guy13]

That is what Communist who want to shut down a country does when they feel push back from "Fascists"

[NewsReader]

There was a little coverage of it. But definitely not enough. As long as enough people read news that leans right, they will know about it.

[MrTaboo]

True conservatives are use to it. Liberals call us names all the time. That's with "racist", "homophobe" and all other names have lost all meaning.

[Anonymous]

I guess the truth hurts to the hypocritical MAGA sheep.

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

would you rather have a civil war?

[Anonymous]

Yes. I'm sure these hypocrites would howl like the world was ending about how wrong Trump would have been if he had called all leftist BLM supporters for commies. Fuck Biden and Fuck BLM.

[joeldalton]

The democrats don’t care. You’ll not get the vast majority of them to agree with you.

[Fuentes]

ULTRA MAGA 2024 - SAVE AMERICA AGAIN 2024

SEE US ALL AS A THREAT TO COMMUNISM!!!

[Dazed0N0Confused]

No, because Biden is fucking right.

[Agagagagaga]

He’s right about calling 74 million people fascists?

[OddBeMe]

No I think its time to call a spade a spade.

[MiseriaCantareAFI]

Not really

They're proven him right
