Editorial -- Joe Biden Said the Quiet Part Out Loud

Joe Biden, in a recent prime time speech, said the quiet part out loud. His exact words were, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of the country.” This represents everything that is wrong with two party politics in this country today.

The elites in this country want to divide us. If you’re a Democrat, they want you to believe that Republicans are an existential threat to this country and that anyone who supports them are bad people. If you’re a Republican, they want you to believe that Democrats are an existential threat and that if you support them, you’re a bad person.

The purpose of the speech was not to condemn the violence of January 6th, which we all do. The purpose was to divide the country even more and frighten people into voting for Democrats in the upcoming election. Just like he wants people to blame the Russians for high prices and pothole infested roads and vote for Democrats to protect them.

Apparently, we weren’t the only one who noticed that Joe Biden said the quiet part out loud. On Friday, he said, “When people voted for Donald Trump and support him now, they weren’t voting for attacking the Capitol. They weren’t voting for overruling an election. They were voting for a philosophy he put forward.”

The problem is that it was Democrats who were challenging the legitimacy of the 2016, 2004, and 2000 elections although it never rose to the level of rioting at the Capitol. But they created the precedent.

In 2016, many Democrats didn’t want President Obama to peacefully hand over power to Donald Trump. They believed that Russia had somehow secretly hacked into our election systems and altered vote totals in key places in order to hand Donald Trump the White House. 

In 2004, many Democrats believed that Bush II operative Karl Rove had secretly altered vote totals in Florida and Ohio with the help of the Ohio and Florida Secretaries of State, Diebold, and ES&S, two voting machine companies. In 2000, many Democrats believed that election was rigged because it was decided by the Supreme Court. They at least had a point about the latter.
