Thanks for these (disturbing) insights. My personal problem with Biden's speech was that he didn't really give an alternative for non-MAGA Republicans other than to switch to the Democrats. I also don't care for any calls for unity, which are simply unrealistic. The country has always been divided by political lines. Rather, I'd prefer to see him draw a line, acknowledge legitimate debate and say something along the lines of, "My Fellow Americans, I implore you this fall to vote only for candidates who stand for upholding democracy, be they Democrats or non-MAGA Republicans." By giving his stamp of approval to non-MAGA Republicans, I think he would make a better case for Republicans who care to feel that Biden is talking about them and including them in the realm of legitimate political competition. I hope you get my drift.
