Hayes: If Biden’s Speech Sounded Divisive And Extreme, Here’s Why
Chris Hayes: “Some level of division is necessary when there is a conflict of this magnitude between two parties. One party wants to preserve the democratic constitutional order of our American democracy.”
This is a “Weimar Republic” moment for the U.S.
The Germans during the Weimar Republic were far too complacent as Hitler’s fascism crept into their political discourse.
We cannot repeat the mistakes they made.
It is time to sound the alarm.
The Republican party, in making the demagogue Trump the center of their party, in scapegoating Blacks, other racial/ethnic minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and women who believe they have a right to privacy and control of their own bodies, has gone full neo-fascist.
It’s really that simple.
Biden, in true Harry Truman fashion, merely told the truth.
Of course it is going to be “divisive.”
It should be.
There is no negotiating with fascists.
