Biden’s D-Day Speech Nailed the Threat of Modern Fascism
thedailybeast.com

With these words Biden addressed the bitter irony that haunted the commemoration ceremonies. While D-Day occurred eight decades ago, America is now just five months from an election that could bring to power a man and a movement who embody and celebrate the twisted authoritarian values of the enemies we sought to defeat so long ago.

Fascism has not gone away. The tactics of the Nazis to employ racism and demagoguery to divide society and enable their seizure of power and their gutting of democratic institutions currently are the playbook of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

genocide-supporting Biden is the face of modern fascism. What's more fascist than sending weapons to Israel?

Killing your political opponents, removing all rights from women and minorities, creating re-education camps, sending the U.S. military into Gaza to commit additional war crimes...

Like if you can't comprehend how Trump could be worse, you're simply not a real person. They've published their wishlist, you can read their plans for America if Trump wins, they're not pretty.

Based solely on your first paragraph its hard to decide which fascist you are defending.

Trump wants the complete eradication of all Palestinians. He'd probably deport any with Palestinian background to get slaughtered

Trump. Is. Way. Worse

Trump is not the one sending weapons to Israel right now.

Trump would send a whole lot more plus make it so elections are fixed

If Biden loses, Trump wins

Get this through your head

There is no choice but Biden if you want a chance at changing things, as the alternative is a Fascist government that will, as its first show, eradicate Palestinians

Biden's doing a very good job of eradicating Palestinians already. He does not need the help from the orange guy.
