calls for Joe Biden to step aside have been met not with thoughtful critiques or reasoned counter-arguments but with furious accusations of treason, disloyalty, and betrayal.

Holy shit fuckin TREASON? I mean, honestly that's a fair point. Trump actually does want to put people to death for disagreeing with him, so if Biden's gone that far, that actually does make it a pretty fair analogy. Maybe I was wrong to say that the people saying "blue MAGA" are laughably full of shit.

And so, eager to hear how wrong I was, I clicked the link and read the rest of the article, looking for where treason came into the picture. It turned out that mostly what they mean is that people on Twitter wrote hostile comments, and that sometimes Biden says things in interviews that they don't think are accurate.

FUCKIN

PRECEDENTED

Basically no different than shooting protestors I tell you

Yup just idiots parroting the same insults they receive to try and muddy the waters and make it seem like both sides are the same. Nope, only one side wants a fascist dictatorship that completely supports a conman child rapist with a third grade education.

Also it's hilarious that they're still using maga. Make America great again again? Did they fail at it the first time? What a silly question. Of course they failed at it because they did literally nothing except damage the country as much as possible.
