It wasn’t planned, but it was appropriate that President Biden’s speech last Thursday on the dangers facing American democracy was delivered as the federal government seemed on the verge of a shutdown, thanks to right-wing House Republicans refusing to let the majority work its will.
The obvious threat to democracy comes from Donald Trump, yet he is often treated as a normal, if much-indicted, presidential candidate. So it was important for Biden to call the former president out, repeatedly and forcefully, for his open promises, as Biden put it, to rule “with no limits on [his] power” in the name of “vengeance and vindictiveness.”
