What has Biden done to oppose fascism other than not having an orange spray tan? Sure, he may be a senile racist, rapist, reactionary war criminal, but he lacks an orange spray tan and his dementia causes him to sound more confused than unhinged. Don’t you know fascism doesn’t have content or policies it is merely being racist on TV with a weird affectation like a funny mustache or orange spray tan.
It doesn’t matter that Biden has continued Title 42 and increased ICE activity so that he not only outstrips Trump, but is gunning for Obama’s title of “Deporter in Chief”. It doesn’t matter that he has undone any COVID precautions and is trying to get rid of any data and reporting to help the pandemic be ignored. It doesn’t matter than he and the Democrats didn’t do anything to protect trans rights or abortion rights (even when they had the ability to fight back, even if limited). It doesn’t matter that the Biden administration used the COPS program to make sure police departments get increased funding, despite whatever local governments voted to give as a compromise to BLM.
Biden is fighting fascism by being a different person than Trump. In the literal sense, obviously they are figuratively the same person.
Let’s not forget that Biden didn’t reverse the embargo on Cuba and the sanctions on Venezuela, and added a series of sanctions against Nicaragua because the US-backed candidate lost the elections. He added Cuba to the list that the US accuses of “not cooperating fully” in the battle against terrorism for no fucking reason other than to fuck Cuba and the Cuban people.
Fuck, even fucking Obama removed large parts of the embargo. Even Jimmy Carter, in his fucking 90s, does more to improve US relations with the Global South than Biden.
The constant “emergency” represented by the current cycle is connected to the fact that the dems don’t just not give a shit about fascism but literally bankroll far-right candidates. They want Republicans to be as far right as possible because it lets them be “left of the Republicans” while still being far to the right, and by keeping their base in a neverending sense of crisis, of “now is not the time to seek positive change, we need to reduce harm” with no means of stopping harm or, God forbid, reversing harm, you are literally just wasting your time telling people to vote for a slow death over a quick one instead of considering how to stop the killing.
I think the only real thing he’s done to oppose fascism is to have his justice department arrest January 6th people, but that’s basically meaningless in the bigger picture.
He’s not doing anything to actually deal with the conditions that lead people to fascism, and he’s sure as hell not fighting against any of the fascist measures being implemented around the nation.
