Fascist Joe what?
Please explain in clear terms what actions on the part of Joe Biden are consistent with any definition of the term fascism. Please provide the definition you are using for reference.
If you cannot substantiate your blatantly ignorant statement, please shut the hell up.
He acts as fascist by defining himself as a democrat when at the same time he ignores the popular will and continues to fund a genocide
It is the way contemporary fascism operates, publicly defining itself as one thing while at the same time acting contrary to the ideals they supposedly represent.
Research the etymological root of the word fascist and you will understand.
No. You provide the definition that you're using. I won't go on a wild goose chase to try to find a basis for your argument. You provide a basis for your argument.
You realize that the US is bound by several preexisting agreements with Israel right? And that those agreements can't just be dropped due to the changing wind of public opinion?
Honoring your defense and economic agreements is in no way "fascist".
An annoying side effect of the rise of Republican fascism has been some leftist critics labeling everything they don't like as fascist, even when it makes absolutely no sense.
To be clear, this is like a pet peeve level of annoying compared to all the other shit going on. It's not in my top 10 things to be concerned about, but damn if it isn't annoying.
Which agreement requires Biden to sell arms for genocide? Which one requires us to run interference at the UN?
