"I will stand in this breach. I will defend this nation. And I will allow no one to place a dagger at the throat of democracy.”

That line should have Trump shitting his pants. Biden sees the mortal threat he's not fucking around.

For too long Republicans have sought to weaken our Democracy while clutching the flag and claiming they were patriots. Supporting election lies is not patriotic, it's anti American. Curtailing voting rights is Anti American. Trying to overthrow our democracy is anti American and traitorous.

Maybe some of President Biden's speech writers are fans of Sorkin's writing style.

Whoever wrote today's speech deserves our admiration.
