Top Democrats have officially abandoned any remaining restraint when it comes to America first Republicans, sending an ominous signal to supporters of former President Donald J. Trump that they are viewed as enemies by some of the most powerful political figures in the country led by President Joe Biden.

On Thursday, the man who dishonestly presented himself as a unifier during his White House campaign denounced “MAGA Republicans” as enemies of democracy who are driven by what he called “semi-fascism” during a decidedly un-American rant that marked a new low for a national leader and conjured images of a dark period of European history when another demagogue denounced a persecuted minority as being subhuman.

However, Biden wasn’t the only Democrat who escalated the hateful rhetoric, Florida gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Crist didn’t even bother trying to appeal to millions of potential voters who he suggested were hateful, backwards bigots and New York Gov Kathy Hochul spoke similarly of over 5 million Republicans in her state.
