No — the US feeds of the speech all had the tight red framing, while international ones did not. That photo is the same framing as his speech broadcast on US networks.

Such a market split indicates the framing was intentionally authoritarian and meant to provoke/intimidate political rivals.

There absolutely are, but in his Philadelphia speech, Biden equated anyone who supports his leading opponent(s) in 2024, with being a domestic terrorist.


Yesterday Shannon Brandt rand over a kid and killed him, claiming the teen was part of a "Republican extremist group": https://www.kvrr.com/2022/09/20/suspect-claims-teen-he-hit-w...

I'm a Pacific Green so I have no allegiance to the Ds or Rs, but from where I sit, everything the left accused Trump and the Republicans of is what the Democrats are actually doing. Fascism is the unity of corporate and government power. And Big Tech, academia, and the Democrats are all on the same side, and it's the left committing terrorist acts (Antifa harassing motorists, Shannon Brandt etc).

If anyone is pushing extremism it's the Democrats.

it's the classic "convince everyone that your opponent is doing what you're guilty of" that both sides use.


No it's not, stop being a joker. Here is what US sources had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JemWkV2Vcic&t=967s

That is massively different than the pic in the article.


90% of the video you linked is the sinister-looking closeup. It looks an awful lot like you cherry picked the few seconds not of that view.


I didn't cherry pick anything. I just clicked randomly through the video to refresh my memory before replying and that is the last place I was at.

90% of the video is not sinister-looking.


I’m not sure your point?

The speech following that brief crowd segment is the red with marines behind him — at a point where the light was on, rather than the one featured in the photo.

I think there’s a reason you deep linked rather than show the beginning: the start is exactly the dark red set shown in the photo.

I’d encourage people to watch from the beginning, where they dim the lights to get that effect:

My point should be obvious, but I know you're not looking for honest discussion. The image in the article and the video are drastically different.

If you're scared of the color red, IDK what to tell you.

The time I linked was random after clicking through the video to prove my memory right.

Show me a time in the video that backs up your argument.


They’re not different:

It’s literally the start of the video, where they dim the lights to get that dark scene.

Tell me you didn’t watch your own source without telling me you didn’t watch your own source, LOL


They are massively different, from the lighting, to the framing, to the aspect ratio, to the emotion Biden is displaying.

You're just a troll.


Yes — the photo is a particular moment from that speech. Obviously characteristics of the photo change with a different camera.

You’re outright lying that the lighting is different: they immediately dim the lights at the start of that video to get the dark red scene.

I have some serious questions why you’re trying to get people to “ignore their lying eyes” and dismissing people who are pointing out that photo matches the scene intentionally created at the start of the video as trolls.

I don’t find that genuine.


They are scared of the color red.


They prefer the optics of the Greasy Grifter gassing his own people for a photo up with upside down Bible, I wonder whose misconduct they were protesting… oh right law enforcement.

Strange that they’re now trying to make law enforcement misconduct the new “economic anxiety.”
