Background:
The definition of "Ruination is the state of being Ruined." On September 1, 2022 Biden gave a speech at Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of America. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were both debated and signed in this building. Using this sacred and historical location, Biden gave a hate filled speech in a blood red and dark black backdrop. The American people were shocked at the vitriol and hatred he spoke about Republicans and MAGA supporters. His divisive rhetoric vilified millions of Americans and will go down as the most hateful speeches in Presidential history. Words like Hitler, Dictator and hashtags like #demonic, #satanic and #darkbiden flooded social media. Why.. if you claim to the the President of all people would you use such decisive and desparaging language to incite vioence and hate against each other and projecting such anger on the people? Biden paints his political opponents as threats to democracy. This was Biden's Deplorable Moment. And the question is who is orchestrating these events and speeches...and more importantly...WHY?
