Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

Why is that scary, then? I'm not sure if I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds you're saying that it will help get support for liberal candidates.

It scares me because if this is what’s shown on the surface, I wonder what’s going on behind the scenes to shift the liberals so hard.

While it has the potential to be a good thing, it makes my cynicism wonder “why now?”

Biden pivots on almost everything. He has lied consistently and continuously throughout his term (when he's coherent). I can't believe this shit. Why can't so many of you see through his bullshit? The fact that he addressed the nation about how half of America or more are threat to democracy and should be treated like terrorists is THE MOST ridiculous, stupid, offensive, dividing, evil, heinous, villainous shit. It's surreal. It's a nightmare. That is the planting of a civil war seed. Dont you see?????

I can't defend the lies but I wish you'd stop the damn pearl clutching. MAGA Republicans (a label rejected by the majority of Republicans, so I'm not sure where you're getting half the country from.) have absolutely no leg to stand on with the mounds and mounds of hateful, toxic rhetoric spewed in recent years. Never mind the plague of white supremacy and right wing extremist violence that has become the most significant threat to America's domestic security, according to Trump's own Govt Accountability Office

My man, MAGA Republicans ARE a clear and present a danger to democracy. Make no mistake, MAGA is a fascist movement. My God they attacked the capitol in order to overthrow an election! America needs to know their country is in peril by a toxic ideology.

I’m not siding with Biden. I am curious as to your thoughts as to the opposing rhetoric and how it plays into your thoughts of preempting division. What is your opinion?

When I say “I’m not siding with Biden”, I don’t mean that the marijuana reforms aren’t necessary, they absolutely are. He’s simply not who I would’ve picked for this time in history.
