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

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.

He can't nail the threat of sleepiness during meetings with world leaders, and you think he made some kind of profound political statement by calling conservatives and Trump nazis for the 10000000th time since he took office? The standards for the demonrats keep getting lower and lower.

Congratulations, you're defending a convicted felon and a rapist.

Never said I liked Obese Cheeto man or that I'd vote for him. But thanks to our retarded 2 party system, people like you think making fun of Biden makes me some MAGA-hat-wearing Trumper. The world's not that simple.
