President Joe Biden said in a speech last week that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent extremism that threatens the foundations of of our republic”.
The words of the current tenant of the White House offended Republicans and caused concern among various media outlets, regarding whether he had been “divisive” or whether could backfire by reframing the fight to save democracy in “partisan” terms, says Salon.com.
However, it appears that Biden’s speech was successful in focusing voters’ attention on the very real threat to democracy posed by Trump and the MAGA movement.
Reuters/Ipsos conducted a poll after Biden delivered his speech just before Labor Day weekend and found They said that a 58% of those surveyed agreed I agree with Biden that Trump and his movement are undermining democracy.
Of curiously, the 59% also agreed that the speech was “divisive”, which shows that all the media concerns were influencing people’s responses.
Despite everything, the president achieved his mission, because the Americans are listening, paying attention and really beginning to believe that the threat to democracy is real.
Biden’s speech was backed by a summer-long news cycle that provided the evidence for his claim so that when he made it, voters would be open to hearing.

And as if that were not enough, Trump He did not stop being news for his attempt to hide his possession of the documents and prevent the government from recovering them.
Biden’s choice to give the speech served to focus the attention of voters in the very real threat to democracy posed by the former president and the MAGA movement.
