    Yet when you bring up Dem tariffs on solar panels and EV’s, suddenly “that’s different.”

      You mean the ones that Trump originally put in and Biden extended?

      And the fact that you don’t understand the difference between a targeted tariff and a blanket tariff on all goods?

      Also the fact that you can’t grasp that you don’t impose tariffs to stop drug trafficking, which btw are done mostly by honest Americans.

      But to your point, however small it may be here, no I don’t think that Biden should have extended Trump’s solar tariffs, it didn’t really help US solar manufacturing since companies did what they always do, moved to other low cost countries that’s not China.

      The inflation reduction act has a better impact on increasing US solar production by offering incentives vs taxes.

      But you just keep on strawmanning and whataboutism while leopards eat your face.

        It’s not “strawmanning” because I didn’t need to make it up. It’s a real thing, which you acknowledge is shit.

        And yes, Trump is also shit.

            I didn’t hear any complaints about the constant “but truuuump” throughout Biden’s nightmare term.

                Considering my goal is to get people to realize they’re both fascist parties, “but Trump” and “but Obama” provide me an identical opening for discussion either way.

                    Which party doesn’t support the genocide in Palestine? Which party opposes indefinite war? Which supports defunding bloated police budgets? Which will strike down the Patriot Act? Which one is working to shutdown overseas US black sites and torture facilities? Which one supports ending state sanctioned piracy of Syrian oil? Which supports ending the illegal sanctions on socialist and communist countries? Which supports the ICC warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant? Which party wants to end the exemption for arming Nazis, which we had to make for Ukraine? Which is calling for an end to The Hague Invasion Act? Which wants to end corporations selling tracking data to the government to get around the fourth amendment?

                    Let’s just make it straightforward: which tenant of fascism does not apply to either party?
