Mr Biden’s speech is his first major campaign event of the 2024 election season
President Joe Biden marked the third anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol by warning that the issue of American democracy will be “what the 2024 election is all about,” as he runs against former president Donald Trump once more.
Mr Biden, who spoke near the Valley Forge historical site where George Washington and the Continental Army were encamped during the winter of 1777 and 1778, told attendees that they were there “to answer the most important of questions: Is democracy still America’s sacred cause?”
“This isn’t rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical. Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time,” he said.
Mr Biden said his speech, his first major event of the 2024 election season, was “deadly serious,” and about a topic that needed to be raised at the outset of his campaign.
Republican politicians only care about winning. If Trump fails yet again, they will change their strategy. The right wing base are mostly subservient people so they’ll fall in line.
Fascist movements oftentimes fizzle out. There’s generally a cult of personality involved with these movements, and when the leader dies it tends to fade away. Trump isn’t young nor is he healthy, it’s very unlikely he’ll live to 2028. Same goes for a lot of his supporters in the boomer generation.
Sure there is a good number of fashy types in the younger generations but not enough to win an election.
Most important thing is that young people go out and vote in this election.
Please stop conflating Boomers with Trump. I’m def a Boomer and I hate the guy. Also check out the faces in the 1/6 crowd; plenty of younger types there…
That’s cool, but the data says 53% of boomers voted Trump last election. The majority of voters of younger generations voted Biden.
If it makes you feel better, 66% of the silent generation voted for Trump. Of course the logic that they are dying off applies to them even more so than with boomers.
And yes, this is all about the margins, but that’s just how elections go.
