Biden might as well literally campaign for Trump at this point.
Truly an American anhero
Why even mention Gaza if a Trump presidency wouldn’t have lessened the death toll?
I’m mad about Gaza also as I can be mad at more than one thing.
Is grabbing a fire extinguisher at the first signs of smoke worrying about hypotheticals?
Idk what exact shape a second Trump presidency would take but us citizens of the imperial core taking some precautions against political violence towards anyone to the left of center, or at the very least being mentally prepared for said violence, is just smart right now, considering the writing on the wall.
Then everyone since FDR has been a fascist.
The definition I’m using is a Mashup of Paxton’s and Eco’s and is international but tends to focus on domestic affairs first.
The violence of a colonial power initially turns inward to purify itself of political opposition and then when that stage is complete seeks to constantly expand its borders.
Biden is just focusing that violence outwards like has been done since WWII.
Trump is focusing inwards and building those nationalist cults of redemptive violence while weakening the already feeble checks on executive power.
Whether or not that’s good for the third world depends entirely on if he’s different irt expanding his borders once the internal purification is complete.
That’s where I differ with a lot of leftists.
They take his isolationism as an unchanging known quantity.
I don’t.
The guy who wanted to tell those loyal to him to go out and kill his rivals but was held back by advisors cautioning him about the legal repercussions (there was more than just jan 6 btw) now being told he doesn’t have to worry about those repercussions is definitely going to change things.
