Washington post has exposed the vulgar and divisive rhetoric of those who do not stand behind the current U.S. president. Never before has anyone, anywhere, at any time shown so much disrespect to a sitting U.S. president, thank goodness Washington Post was there to keep us all informed.
Criticism of Biden turns vulgar - The Washington Post
From article:
"During the 2020 presidential campaign, one of Biden’s political superpowers was his sheer inoffensiveness, the way he often managed to embody — even to those who didn’t like him — the innocuous grandfather, the bumbling uncle, the leader who could make America calm, steady, even boring again after four years of Donald Trump."
"Yet the anger also demonstrates how a political party or cause often needs an enemy, a target of vilification that can unite its adherents "
" The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread."
"Then there are the chants. In early October, a “F--- Joe Biden!” cry broke out among the crowd at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway. Kelli Stavast, an NBC Sports reporter, was interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown live on air at the time, and she quipped, “You can hear the chants from the crowd, ‘Let’s go Brandon!’ ”
Trump supporters instantly saw signs of a coverup, claiming on social media that journalists were deliberately censoring anti-Biden sentiment. The brief video exchange quickly turned viral.
The result has been a proliferation of chants in recent weeks, both of “Let’s go Brandon!” — now used as a stand-in by the Trump faithful — and the more vulgar original, sometimes shorthanded as “FJB.”"
“One of the many legacies of the Trump presidency is he normalized angry speech,” said Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist and Trump critic. “Trump and our culture in general has beaten decorum out of politics, so now it’s just angry rage therapy — so you get out your Magic Marker and you do your coarse lawn sign.”
"That tribalism is reflected in surveys."
This all sounds very familiar
