The truth is the \u201cGood Republicans\u201d are useful idiots, who will instantly become bad if they dare to run against Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Most Americans\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/biden-approval-rating\/?ex_cid=rrpromo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disapprove of Biden<\/a>; that number is likely to rise after his hateful rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the address was to demonize, dehumanize and otherize Donald Trump and his supporters, which would justify any kind of persecution by government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>This also creates grounds for the Democrats to reject the outcome of the midterms should the GOP, particularly the MAGA GOP win by a landslide. They could claim to stand against fascist forces. The Democrats have broken every immutable norm in recent times; they already attempted to overthrow the 2016 election; they could very well do this for the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>But there is a silver lining.<\/p>\n<p>Despite claims that the speech would be apolitical, Biden delivered a campaign speech. \u00a0However, it wasn\u2019t for the Democrats it was instead for the Republicans and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Even personnel from Democrats\u2019 mouthpieces such as CNN and\u00a0<a
