Joe Biden’s recent comments calling Trump supporters “ugly folks” and “fascists” have once again revealed his contempt for half the country. Instead of delivering on his promise to be a unifier, Biden continues to stoke division by attacking everyday Americans who align with the MAGA movement.
Conservatives argue that Biden's rhetoric is not just a political jab but part of a broader campaign to delegitimize opposition voices. Labeling millions of voters as "fascists" or "trash" isn’t just insulting—it's dangerous. This kind of language deepens polarization and creates an “us versus them” mentality, all while Biden claims to be restoring the soul of America. It’s no wonder many believe Biden and the Democratic Party have abandoned any intention of healing the country.
Furthermore, Biden’s attacks mirror Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” moment, which backfired by galvanizing Trump’s base in 2016. If anything, Biden’s remarks risk alienating independent voters who see through the divisive strategy. Conservatives see this behavior as proof of the left's growing disdain for anyone outside their ideological bubble.
This is more than just a slip of the tongue—it reflects the true attitude of the Democratic leadership toward Trump supporters: not as fellow citizens with different viewpoints but as enemies to be defeated. For Biden, who insists he’s fighting to “save democracy,” this kind of rhetoric seems hypocritical. If democracy means respecting all voices, Biden’s recent comments suggest he only respects the ones that align with his agenda.
As the 2024 election draws near, Biden’s divisive remarks will likely energize Trump’s supporters once again—reminding them that the political elite sees them as the problem, not part of the solution.
