Between President Joe Biden’s speeches, the threat of armed IRS agents, FBI raids, government-directed censorship of conservative voices on social media, and the call from a Senate candidate to “kill and confront” MAGA, service-disabled veteran and small business owner Adam Hardage sees a “coordinated weaponization of federal agencies” to destroy the MAGA movement.
On Sept. 1, Biden stood before a red background at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall and said “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” A week earlier, Biden told his audience at a fundraiser in Maryland that the “extreme MAGA philosophy” is “like semi-fascism.” At the reception for the Democratic National Committee on Sept. 8, Biden said “extreme MAGA Republicans just don’t threaten our personal and economic rights; they embrace political violence ... They threaten our very democracy.”
