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.
Let it burn and maybe democrats will finally see they are contributing to the rightward fascism we are experiencing.
A 3rd party vote is not a protest vote, a protest vote is one cast against something, the way Democrats do.
I’ve gotta give you kudos:
I see you all over these comment sections like it’s your full time job and you consistently have the absolute worst takes. Brain rot GOAT
Your method isn’t working, that’s like repeatedly banging your head on the wall wondering why the fuck you have a headache.
Youre method got us trump in 2016, so kindly fuck off
Hillary, and Hillary alone gave us Trump
I guess I don’t understand. If you don’t vote, then the Democrats will move further right to grab more of the Republican votes…
Good, let the 2 of the duke it out to see who wins. Theres only room for 1 right wing party in the US.
Even if I did vote their actions reflect that they dont care what voters think, or that we have any influence on policy
People who say “burn it down” always assume theirs won’t be one of the millions of lives this plan ends.
I know things will be rough in the beginning. But something’s gotta give, this whole red fascist vs blue fascist thing isn’t working out for the working class. We are having the exact same conversations about wages housing, healthcare, education, etc for decades. These were the same issues MLK was fighting for 60 years ago. And we’ve gotten nowhere because white liberals, who he said was the largest stumbling block towards freedom, are too afraid to upset the apple cart. They are afraid of losing THEIR privilege to gain the rights of others
If you think there are fascists on both sides, then you don’t know what fascism is. The left definitely has problems, but being fascist isn’t one of them.
Remember during Covid when supply lines were interrupted, people started hoarding resources, and the store shelves were bare? That was just a comparatively minor disruption compared to what would happen if we “burn it down”. Think seeing children starving in Gaza is horrifying? It would happen here in much larger numbers. Our millions of guns would be turned on us by our neighbors. It would be The Purge in real life. The Rawandan Genocide would be tame by comparison.
All hyperbole
Would you bet your life on that?
My experience with decades of liberal hyperbole says yes.
Nothing liberal or hyperbolic about facts.

Liberals claimed if Trump got reelected in 2020 he would start WWIII, the economy would crash, Roe would get overturned, rights would be lost. Trump didnt get elected and all those things still happened

Scratch a liberal…
