    What exactly is the difference between Trump and Biden? Everything they warned us would happen under Trump is happening under Biden right now. And if they haven't happened yet, he has 0 safeguards for the future democrats who would holder power, and in fact, he's been bolstering the potential powers of a future fascist leader. The party isn't even interested in performatively condemning police brutality towards peaceful protestors. How long before Biden orders the police to beat all the students on the grass so he can take a picture holding the constitution with the zionist counter protestors?

    They are having brunch and dinners while the world suffers, while their own pathetic party suffers, partially because the Israel lobby is strong and you can't exactly criticize cops who are "defending" the schools from "antisemitism," but also partially because they're genuinely offended that anyone could have a problem with what Israel is doing. They don't give a about you living in a dictatorship. It's actually beneficial because they can have their conservative goons enforce their ideology with force while they get to sit back and pretend to be saddened.

      Libs: "We can't do [good thing] by presidential decree because that will empower Trump if he wins."

      Also libs: "Yeah, crack down on those rowdy antisemitic students protesting against genocide!"

      Biden is useful in establishing this as the status quo. Concentration camps on the border are just run of the mill, crackdowns on protestors is a-ok and genocide is just a thing you need to get as a treat.

      I don’t doubt that Trump could do worse in a multitude of areas, but it wouldn’t be possible without the legitimacy that is given to positions like these by Biden or dems at large.

      Guantanamo is still running. I remember when libs were up in arms about it during the Bush era, just like the kids in cages with Trump.

      All of those things are happening to people they don't care about over things they don't care about. They are worried about those things happening to people they care about over things they care about.

      Trump says the quiet things out loud and that's bad optics.
