He did not say half of the country is a threat, he said that the MAGA wing
of the Republican Party could be a danger. The MAGA wing is a small but
vocal part of the Republican party, one that is shunned by the mainstream
GOP.

I've mentioned at other places - and maybe here - that I don't agree with
Biden's speech, and that it is more divisive than it needed to be. But at
least discuss what he actually said.

As I mentioned in another place, to another poster... perception is
reality. If he meant what he said in that manner, it was not taken that
way by many, which made it sound even more divisive than you think it did.

At least you do admit that it was divisive. The person I responded to did
not think it was at all, but I am pretty sure that on the topic of
"MAGA/Trump supporters" he is in the choir that Biden was preaching to.

He absolutely *DID* make clarifying statements that include pretty much
all conservatives. Which is closer to 1/3 of the voters than 1/2... all
the same, it was definitely inflammatory and had the tone of someone who
wanted to spark more division and conflict, not less.
