Because Joe Biden only cares about Joe Biden. It's laughable to think otherwise.

Biden will do the same thing he has done for 45 years in politics...nothing for the people, and everything for the fascist government
Do you know what a fascist is? I am a Democrat whose grandfather...a Democrat as well...was badly injured fighting the fascists in World War 2. I would be interested in a detailed analysis of the similarities between my grandfather and myself and the fascists he was fighting.

As far as Covid, blaming Trump for these deaths is pretty asinine. 12 months he ignored the virus ? That is laughable. Could things have been done differently ? Perhaps. Would it have changed our predicament ? Not a single person on this planet can really know. It could have been worse, or better.
I, and everyone I am in contact with have been masking up (and gloves in the beginning) since March, many of us have been working from home since then as well, we followed the CDC guidelines. Not sure where you come up with that 12 month thing, maybe if you weren't so consumed with Trump you would have seen this.

And still didn't answer the original question.

We are communists? I am a Communist? Who knew!!! Certainly not me. Now what is really confusing id a few posts back I and my fellow Democrats were accused of being fascists. Communists and fascists are on opposite ends of the political spectrum and hate one another so I can't quite figure out how Democrats are both.
Are we communist fascists?

In my opinion, we can't look to the past to define what fascism was then, compared to now.

I think what it means in a modern perspective is, not allowing other views, forcing their views on to another and canceling the opposing or just different views.

A perfect example is the herd at one of the BLM protests that went after a couple just sitting at a restaurant and demanded them to raise their fist in solidarity, eventually taking the couples drinks.

Threatening people for your cause seems to be pretty fascist to me.

If Biden were really the most popular president ever, people would be upset that they couldn't attend the inauguration. i am not seeing many people really care. Having the troops in riot gear is a good way to mask the fact that virtually no one cares about Biden.
And yet he won the popular vote by several million votes.
And the Dems won the Senate and held on to the House.

Trump isn't a politician?

I know quite well what fascism is.... fascism (also known as corporatism) is socialism lite...and the American left have hugged it going back to FDR who brought fascism to America




Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal.







Quote:
""Fascism is a system in which the government leaves nominal ownership of the means of production in the hands of private individuals but exercises control by means of regulatory legislation and reaps most of the profit by means of heavy taxation. In effect, fascism is simply a more subtle form of government ownership than is socialism."" Mussolini


hmm high taxes...super control (authoritarian) by regulations...sounds like the American liberals to anyone with common sense




Quote:
"A Marxist/Fascist/Liberal begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of socialism, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism." Saul Alinsky
Lenin in 1916 proclaimed:


Quote:
"The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them."
open borders is a socialist concept bordering on communism

globalism (liberalism) is socialism
socialists don't want borders, they want a global economy, one world order


liberals want open or semi-open borders...some even want no borders
liberals are the ones who CREATED these sanctuary cities
liberals are the ones who get their panties in a wad, when people call out MS13 and such as animals
liberals are the one who are FORCING law enforcement to turn a blind eye to illegals
liberals DEMAND that ICE release these illegals on their own "word" that they will show up to their hearings for emigration/amnesty/asylum


DNC and nearly every liberal candidate has showed they want open borders...no deportation of any kind...and to abolish the immigration/border patrol

the liberals doomed themselves at the recent debates when they showed they want open borders (that illegals who cross into the US illegally, should not e charged NOR deported) AND when they said illegals should get free medical..... nearly everyone on the stage raised their hands and showed their treasonous ways...… the liberals are doomed

abolish ice AND abolish borders... and its the socialist liberals pushing it...socialism wants NO BORDERS


Zbigniew Brzezinski liberal (socialist) mentor to Carter, Bush1, clinton, cheney, and Obama and Biden


Quote:
"We cannot leap into the one world government through one quick step.... The precondition for eventual and genuine globalization is progressive regionalization because by that we move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units."

Zbigniew Brzezinski





Quote:
""This is a form of Socialism known as fascism, and it will be the type of world government the power elite plans ultimately to bring about and control. In this government, the power elite will control politicians who will become government leaders who will promulgate laws, rules and regulations favorable to certain transnational corporations"""



...........in Brzezinski's BETWEEN TWO AGES (1970), he praised Marxism, and he claimed that "the nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty."








marx, stalin, lenin, mussolini mao, hitler,.. all 'progressives', all leftists...

progressivism, socialism, fascism, communism, liberalism.......all leftist

It's going to be so nice having some normalcy in the Oval Office again, knowing there won't be any hateful middle-of-the night tweets or worse, no more name-calling, no more gaslighting. Feels better already.
