    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.

    Biden has no answer for stuff like that.

      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.
