So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

    Biden is plunging America into fascism? I was pretty sure this article was about Trump and the GOP but perhaps I misread it.

      Ya, and the article is a propaganda post to scare you into accepting and being complicit in genocide.

      Biden and Trump are both fascists.

      We kept voting lesser evil and now both parties are fascist.

          Acting in defiance of the votes and voice of the constituents. Funding genocide and working to do so unilaterally behind closed doors.

          Yup. Sounds pretty fascist to me.

            The majority of Americans support Israel, so they are not acting against the interests or voice of their constituents.

              Are you sure about that?

              The majority of Americans are supporting the Palestinian genocide right now?

              Every report I have heard is that Biden’s already abysmal approval rating TANKED the moment he started funding the genocide.

              Last I checked, the average American is pretty anti-genocide.

                Yes, Biden had 50% approval among democrats for his handling of the current conflict, and the majority of Republicans have always supportes Israel over Palestine.

                Also not everyone agrees it’s a genocide.

                  Centralized autocratic government. Unilaterally funding genocide against the wishes of the people. That is fascism. That is what both sides of the aisle are doing in America today. Biden happens to be in the drivers seat today.

                  11,000 unaffiliated civilians murdered in 1.5 months and Netanyahu is loudly ramping up. Sounds like genocide to me.

                    Hamas is intentionally using Palestinian civilians as human shields, attacking Israel from populated areas.

                    And Israel has the munitions and ability to kill every Palestinian in a matter of weeks. If they wanted to genocide the Palestinians they could have already wiped them out.
