PHILADELPHIA — In a prime-time speech to the country last September, President Joe Biden stood, with Independence Hall flooded in ominous red lighting behind him, and angrily railed at “MAGA extremists voters” who represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
Biden’s purpose here last year was to dampen support for any Republican running for office across the country by stoking fear in voters. It worked, for the most part, and the Democrats' losses weren’t as bad as predicted. It is a shame that Biden, the"great uniter" who is fighting for"the soul of our country," rarely if ever addresses the dark social disorder happening primarily in Democratic-led cities that often leads to gangs of teenagers such as the ones who ransacked the Apple Store here in Philadelphia.
