Issuing blunt new warnings about his predecessor Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House, US President Joe Biden cited “potential threats” to the country’s democracy, stating that something “dangerous” is happening in America.
AS per ANI report, Stating that democracies die when people “remain silent” and “don’t stand up”, he urged the voters to prioritise the health of American institutions.
“There’s something dangerous happening in America now…There’s an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy: The MAGA movement,” Biden said during his speech in Arizona on Thursday.
“We should all remember: Democracies don’t have to die at the end of a rifle. They can die when people are silent, when they fail to stand up,” he added.
“There’s no question that today’s Republican Party is driven and intimidated by MAGA Republican extremists,” Biden said, using the acronym for Trump’s political movement, adding, “Their extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American democracy as we know it,” CNN reported.
“Make America Great Again” is a political slogan popularized by Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Notably, the stark message was Biden’s most forceful attempt at calling out Trump’s antidemocratic behaviour since the former president was criminally charged for his attempts to subvert the 2020 election results.
