(The legislation didn&#8217;t pass.) He went on to tout the &#8220;record turnout&#8221; across the country, which has complicated Democratic efforts to accuse Republicans of <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/georgia-turnout-voter-supression-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voter suppression<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The speech, which was\u00a0reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexThomp\/status\/1587932211600244736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">co-written<\/a> by celebrity historian <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/historians-saving-democracy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jon Meacham<\/a>, was riddled with clich\u00e9s that probably won&#8217;t resonate with the average voter, but might inspire the handful of #Resistance weirdos to tweet passionately: &#8220;Democracies are more than a form of government, they&#8217;re a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden delivered an unusual speech Wednesday night, urging Americans who don&#8217;t support his policies to vote for Democratic candidates anyway in order to save democracy from &#8220;Extreme MAGA Republicans&#8221; and other &#8220;dark forces&#8221; threatening to destroy the country.<br \/>\nThe post Biden Rallies the Resistance, Urges Americans Not to Base Their Votes on Inflation and Other Trivial Concerns appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":1722355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1722352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1722352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1722352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1722352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1722355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1722352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1722352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1722352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
