President Joe Biden closed his speech commemorating and regrettable events January 6, 2021, to ask God to bless those who stood watching democracy.

To stand watch on a ship is to prevent the eye from the weather to monitor potential hazards of sea and sky. In this larger sense, Biden address asking Americans to see the plain truth, to witness violent January 6 and surveying threats coming.

As a scholar of presidential rhetoric, I noticed a metaphor because they often reveal much about the ideas, values and beliefs of a particular chief executive and, indeed, the nation as a whole.

Believe with your own eyes to believe with your own eyes Biden’s speech of January 6, 2022, is of interest not only because of circumstances that led to its becoming necessary, but also because the visual language employed.

Biden’s speech of January 6, 2022, is of interest not only because of circumstances that led to its becoming necessary, but also because the visual language employed.

Speech reveals a strong faith in the plain truth. It asked Americans to believe their own eyes. That reflects a long tradition in Western culture equate philosophical views or light with the truth. But there has always been a countertradition, which assumes real power lies in the shadows, conspiring behind the curtain.

A former President of Donald Trump’s famous conspiracy was evident in his push from the Obama birther lies and reluctance to deny conspiracy QAnon.

It also forms the view of many in his party that the 2020 election was somehow stolen. In his speech, President Biden tried to sterilize the body politic with the light of truth. It does so in several ways.

In his speech, President Biden tried to sterilize the body politic with the light of truth. It does so in several ways. Biden memory shaped January 6th nation with what Americans see that day. It was a violent attack, he said, efforts to overturn fair elections and overthrow American democracy.

To make a clear definition, he repeatedly urged the audience, Close your eyes, ask them to take another look at what people see that day. A mob dragged, stomping, attacking police. Rioters use the flagpole as a spear. Confederate flag in Statuary Hall. A gallows on the Capitol lawn, prepared for the vice president of the United States.

Acknowledging that violence for what it is, Biden urged. Ignoring the reasons that have been made since. See the truth. Dagger at the throat demokrasi’Tidak simply asking the nation’s president saw 6 Jan clear, he also asked us to understand his place in history.

Biden asked the audience to look at Statuary Hall, the space inside the US Capitol where Biden spoke. It was not just a convenient backdrop for his address. It is a record of history, symbolized by the statue of Clio, the muse of classical history, who stood watching the Capitol and records everything that happens there.

History see a Confederate flag and know they never appeared before in this sacred space. Police history saw die in defense of the Capitol and know that never happened before in this space.
istory saw, said Biden, a dagger at the throat of democracy strong visual imagery. History see their facts plain and clear for all to see. The former president was defeated. He lost by millions of people. Czech judges and politicians reject his conspiracy.

It is a visual language of democracy. Democracy, Biden asserted, deal with their problems and recognize reality. They do not become victims of shadows or what Biden described as a big lie Trump. The truth is there for all Americans to see, plain and clear.
