President Joe Biden returned to a favorite tactic during a rabble-rousing speech to Democratic party loyalists in Philadelphia, assailing America first Republicans in the House of Representatives who he accused of trying to destroy his mythical vibrant economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demagogue in chief whipped out shovels of bloody red meat to an enthusiastic crowd that turned out for the 2023 Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting on Friday where they reveled in his angry denunciations of loyal Americans who oppose the authoritarian party\u2019s extreme agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After boasting about his economic record despite the crushing burden of inflation that has decimated American household budgets, Biden turned his fire on those who oppose his ruinous policies, painting them as an enemy within who would threaten his miraculous handling of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut now, the extreme MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives have made it clear they intend to put it all at risk. They intend to destroy it,\u201d Biden raged as the rabid party apparatchiks booed and hissed like the mob engaging in the \u201cTwo Minutes Hate\u201d<\/a> from George Orwell\u2019s dystopian novel 1984<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I\u2019m \u2014 not a joke. When I \u2014 look, you may remember when, during the off-year election, I started talking about MAGA Republicans and democracy. And a lot of you thought, \u2018What the hell is he talking about? Why isn\u2019t he talking about A, B, C, or D specific issue?’\u201d Biden continued, feeding the crowd\u2019s hatred of pro-America conservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, guess what? They intend to destroy the pri- \u2014 this is not your father\u2019s Republican Party. No, really, think about it. These aren\u2019t conservatives. These aren\u2019t conservatives. These are disruptive people. They intend to destroy the progress we made,\u201d he said, hammering home the idea that those who are loyal to the country are the true enemy as if he were pushing the buttons of party enthusiasts in an early 1930s German beer hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFolks, as I said, this is not your father\u2019s Republican Party. Just take a look what\u2019s \u2014 they\u2019re doing. They campaigned on fiscal responsibility, but the first bill to pass the House of Representatives added $114 billion to the deficit. The first one,\u201d Biden continued. \u201cThey introduced another bill to limit the President\u2019s authority over the Strategic Petroleum Reserve because they\u2019re mad I used that authority to lower gas prices by $1.50 a gallon. Period,\u201d distorting his draining off the nation\u2019s vital oil reserves to benefit Democrats ahead of the midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook, they introduced a bill \u2014 you think I\u2019m cra- \u2014 when I said this stuff in the off year, people looked at me like I was nuts. They\u2019re nuts. I\u2019m not the one \u2026,\u201d he said as the crowd expressed it enthusiasm with laugher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey introduced a bill that will eliminate the IRS and replace it with a 30 percent national sales tax, Biden said to more boos as he tapped into the animal passions of the crowd who he had eating out of his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, no. You heard me: 30 percent national sales tax. Think about that. That means 30 percent on groceries, gasoline, clothing, school supplies, medicine, big-ticket items like rent and cars. Shifting the entire burden to the working class and middle class of America. It\u2019s not going to happen. I\u2019m going to veto the sucker if it ever got to me,\u201d the cunning career politician added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know the Republicans ran on inflation last election. I didn\u2019t know they were trying to make it worse,\u201d he jibed as the audience roared with laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd, of course, as they always do, they still want to cut taxes on the wealthiest and biggest corporations,\u201d he declared to more boos and an inaudible shout from an audience member that elicited more laughter from the mob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Biden\u2019s latest diatribe in Philly, his loving party cheerleaders changed \u201cfour more years, four more years,\u201d a nightmarish scenario for an America that is already on the ropes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
