I posted a thread the other day with my predictions of a Biden administration, you can find it here - https://hexbear.net/post/34180
I 100% agree with you, and the COVID bill Dems try to pass, will most likely be at the expense of defunding medicaid and social security. We didn't get a stimulus check back during the 2009 recession with Obama. All we got were tax credits that amounted to nothing. As for Medicaid, Biden has already made it clear that he thinks Obamacare is all we need and they'll gladly gut medicaid for it. One of his key plans is to bring back the mandatory tax fines to Obamacare which is the main reason people hated it to begin with.
Biden is going to inherit the worst economy and highest unemployment numbers in the US since the great depression and he has nothing to counter it. No plan whatsoever. Last month, his staff were already talking about how they wanted to pass austerity budgets and cut down federal government spending and just blame it on Trump's mess.
Liberalism is failing and slowly being replaced. It's job of negotiating between the oppressed and exploited and the ruling class is failing. All Democrats have had to offer for years now has been identity politics and empty platitudes. The wildcard with Biden is that he is not even trying to pay lip service or give empty platitudes, nor is he playing into the identity politics. He's out loud and proud of how conservative and right wing he is. Just the other day, he was bragging how he beat a socialist in Sanders and how he's this die hard centrist. Seriously, I don't buy any of this talk about Trump being the "accelerationist". If anything, Biden is going to put the pedal to the metal and accelerate us straight to it. I 100% expect Harris to lay the groundwork for a fascist dictatorship by pushing for more authoritarian laws and giving cops more power.
There is definitely going to be a backlash. The Tea Party sprung up around 2010 and they went on to dominate state elections and quickly merged their way into the GOP. The next reactionary right wing movement is going to be a lot worse with them, and if it's fascists trying to address wealth inequality and talk about the class war, the Dems are going to be fucked come 2024 cause they've spent years now shooting down M4A. I think the next fascist we get, is going to push something like M4A but for Americans and frame the class war entirely around blaming immigrants and protesters.

We're in for an absolute nightmare under Biden.
