Biden's Rhetoric and Political Violence
American Thinker ^ | 4 Nov, 2022 | Ben Voth

Posted on 11/04/2022 5:01:12 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Much like President Woodrow Wilson in the midterm election of 1918, Biden begs the American people to punish the opposing party and clear a political path for his internationalist visions.

In the fall of 1860, Tommy Wilson was four years old. As he stood near the front gate of his Augusta, Georgia home a local told him that Abraham Lincoln had been elected president and now there would be war. Tommy’s father, a Presbyterian minister, would turn his flock against the denomination’s opposition to slavery that was foundational to the South’s rebellion. Joseph Wilson helped found the new Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America. President Biden was recently observed reading a book about President Lincoln -- And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle by John Meacham. So on November 2, when President Biden stood at Union Station to tell the American people the “truth,” he knew that the 2020 election was not the most contested election in history nor was it the most serious threat the nation has ever faced.

President Biden would be wise to more carefully temper his rhetoric regarding American history in his grand narratives of politics. The 2020 election is not the most contested election in history and its struggle is not the greatest threat to our democracy every faced. Biden’s November 2 speech was an unfortunate expansion of his misguided January 6 speech and the red Philadelphia speech. He continues to excessively demonize his political opponents and provided little meaningful salience to the acts of political violence against Republicans seen in cases like Kavanaugh, Zelnick, and the Rubio campaigner in Florida.

I predict 2 long years of ANTIFA, BLM and REVCOM mayhem in an attempt to make people afraid not to vote for the democRATs.

I don’t think the Mayhem in the streets will go as well for BLM, Antifa and anyone else trying to create chaos. There are a lot of states now that the Governors will not put up with it like they did 3 years ago. At least I hope so.

Jo Jo is not the President of the United States. He is president of the far leftwing half of the states and everything south of the border. He’s a real America-hater.

Not only that, but Jo Jo was also selected, not elected.

Yep. You know a staffer made him hold it for the photos. He probably thought it was a box of chocolates.

Joe has never been seen carrying a book. He would fall down from the sheer imbalance of carrying a book.

There are good people who intend to shoot back this time.

It is also note worthy that 2020 wasn’t the first mail in ballot fraud.

Mail-in ballots were part of a plot to deny Lincoln reelection in 1864
By Dustin Waters
August 22, 2020 at 7:00 a.m. EDT

https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/08/22/mail-in-voting-civil-war-election-conspiracy-lincoln/

Troops from New York were allowed to authorize individuals back home to cast a vote on their behalf. Along with their mail-in ballots, troops would assign their power of attorney on slips that required four signatures: the voter’s, the person authorized as a recipient, a witness to the signed affidavit and a fellow officer. These documents would be sealed in an envelope and shipped back home to be counted in the final vote

Ferry told Wood that the votes from New York’s 91st Regiment had already been tallied: 400 for McClellan and 11 for Lincoln.

Wood returned to the office later and, following Ferry’s instructions, began forging signatures of the 16th New York Cavalry. Meanwhile, a clerk sat across the room signing ballots from the roster of names Wood had brought with him from home. Wood asked to personally deliver these fraudulent ballots, but Ferry said they would have to receive final approval from his colleague in Washington — Edward Donahue Jr.

Donahue soon arrived in Baltimore and met with Wood. It was revealed during this conversation that around 20 co-conspirators were already at work in D.C. to aid in the plot to deliver votes to McClellan.

The following day Wood watched as Donahue and his crew formed a sort of assembly line, passing blank papers along to one another to be signed with the names of active enlisted men, wounded and dead soldiers, and officers who never existed.

Exactly. I don’t believe the nation will put up with it this time. There are many more folks willing to stand up to these idiots.
