In before "bruh, we already have literal fascism"!
The US does support international genocide, and Capitalism is declining, but it hasn't quite declined within the US for fascism to become possible, otherwise Jan 6 would've been met with massive popular support.
The conditions for fascism are approaching under Biden still, so he isn't really an "anti-fascist" candidate, but Trump does represent support for far more reactionary views.
Neither of those are mutually exclusive; capitalism is actually quite friendly to fascism and many definitively non-fascist states stand idly by or conveniently profit while genocides happen.
I understand, I was pointing out that voting for Biden is voting for a slow descent rather than rapid into fascism.
Basically "let the boomers continue to enjoy the futures they stole from everybody else".
That's the real unspoken reality here. A vote for Biden is just propping up a lifestyle for the people who fucked us over in the first place.
As opposed to trump who believes that blood sacrifices will fix the problem
If Boomers had any interest in reaching a legitimate compromise with everybody else they would have voted for a reasonable compromise candidate in the 2020 primaries. Instead they voted for a geriatric old man who's spent his entire political career enacting terrible policies we're all paying for.
My app failed to load any of the replies, which probably means I blocked all of them lmao.
