Yeah, but that’s no different than under Trump, so your point is mute.
I didn't dispute this. My comment is not an endorsement for Trump.
If you really think you are going to see the worst of the right wing this week, you got another thing coming in the next few years when there is a reaction to Biden's austerity. We haven't seen anything yet.
They're going to get worse anyway. Nazis got worse under Trump, things are bad and getting worse, and they can only get better after getting monumentally worse. The Republicans are testing their limits with vote stealing, it's harder this election than last, and they have no reason to stop. Trump is advocating for his followers to kill is now, you think if he wins he's going to go "leave those leftists alone"?
Game over man, game over. I feel worried about people who go to the protests, because regardless, the risk is going up.
It's not going to get any better under Biden, that was my original point. He'll most likely push for some bipartisanship law to further the PATRIOT Act and NDAA to make protesting illegal.
I 100% expect Harris to lay the groundwork for our future fascist dictator that will be coming soon. It don't start and end with Trump. Trump is just the beginning. The pandora's box has been opened now and shit is going to get real bad in the next 4-6 years.
I’m not trying to Orange Man Bad, but isn’t the Republican MO all about looting the coffers and taking away healthcare and women autonomy? I agree that Biden is super conservative and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near social security and Medicare, but if Republicans stay in power wouldn’t most people suffer the same effects?

I think the austerity aspect would be worse under Biden. Trump isn't any better morally or altruistically, but he's a mess. He's a big tornado of government incompetence.
They both want to fuck poor people in the ass, but Biden would step out of the way into his senility bunker and let the pros handle it. Trump thinks he's the president, and actually tries to do things, and he's fucking stupid, so it creates government gridlock and public opposition.
Whereas now, the newspapers are filled with the latest stories about Trump tweeting a rude word at Joy Behar or ranting about the superior flushing capacity of the toilets of yesteryear, under Biden there would be hagiographies daily, tuning half the country to the "everything is OK now, we live in a Democratic-created utopia where the only things wrong are Proud Boys, and Republicans trying to ban abortion" channel, as it was in 2010.
Even though libs may oppose Trump in a vapid, facile way ("he's orange! he does typoes! he's a Russian! he doesn't respect troops enough!"), at least they are taking a negative posture against the president which is a good thing. Who is going to be our ally in major media under a President Biden? Glenn Beck wheeling out his stupid paranoia blackboard again?
Anything resembling even the remotest left-leaning opposition to Biden would be banished to Twitter and BreadTube, and the only critiques of Biden that make the major papers and TV shows would be ridiculous stuff like "he's a Marxist, socialist Saul Alinsky-ite who wants to force abortions" on FOX News, and Joy Ann Reid and George Takei and Alyssa Milano then painting those critiques as the only possible critiques of Biden, then dismissing them out of hand, making him flawless (see also: Obama, mustard, tan suit).
TL;DR: Crippling austerity would happen under both, but there would be much less opposition to austerity under Biden, than under Trump.
Also please don't misconstrue this posting as an appeal to vote for Trump. On this issue, and some others like Middle East policy, Biden is worse. On lots of others Trump is worse. It's a no-win election.
Lol no I’m not trolling. You just seemed to imply that we will suffer more austerity under Biden vs Trump, when I think it’ll be close to the same. That’s why I was engaging you.
I don’t have a solution, I chose not to vote. The cuts and forced poverty will continue as scheduled, in my opinion.
I think Biden will accelerate us faster to fascism just for the sheer fact that he will push for bipartisanship with a GOP who are going to bully him at every single turn and get what they want. The Dems didn't choose Harris for nothing. She'll further the authoritarianism of the state.
The main reason I pointed out his austerity is that it's going to inspire a massive rightwing backlash. Trump isn't the end of this. When Biden does nothing about the economy, unemployment or COVID raging through the population, you can bet your ass that this is going to invoke some serious fury from the far right and their next movement will likely be literal brownshirts. It will make the Tea Party look like a joke with how crazy they are going to be.
I 100% agree. Biden is going to be a milquetoast "unity and bipartisanship" hack who will most likely just flounder through his term. The current state of infrastructure, healthcare, wages, housing/rent prices, and gross inequality is what caused Trump. And when Biden does nothing to address that but offer thoughts and prayers, the right will put up a much more competent fascist who isn't just a conman.

So what's your solution? Vote Biden? I don't know if you are concern trolling me or not.

Biden has no answer for stuff like that.
