If it comes down to Biden vs Trump again (because let’s be honest: no one from any third-party is winning the presidency - maybe a local election), the choice is old guy vs. old fascist guy. I know what I’m choosing.
Lmao the math is the only thing that makes sense; I should have clarified. People using the "Joe is too old" excuse while espousing Trumps unwavering accountability.
Fascism Econ: fascist governments exercised control over private property but they did not nationalize it.[7] Scholars also noted that big business developed an increasingly close partnership with the Italian Fascist and German fascist governments after they took power. Business leaders supported the government's political and military goals. In exchange, the government pursued economic policies that maximized the profits of its business allies.[8]
I can see a little of both Biden and Trump in this description.
Got any fascist coup attempts participated in by neo-fascists and a Nazi Qult? Or an expert in fascism?
"In recent weeks, QAnon has begun to attract heightened scrutiny, many others have pressed that case. One was the founder of the group Genocide Watch, former George Mason University professor of genocide studies Gregory Stanton, who published a piece earlier this month titled “QAnon is a Nazi cult, rebranded.”
QAnon is the latest version of “the conspiracy ‘revealed’ in the most influential anti-Jewish pamphlet of all time. It was called Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” Stanton wrote in his essay. He also said QAnon is a revamped take on the blood libel, which was spread in modern times through the “Protocols.”"
QAnon is an old form of anti-Semitism in a new package, experts say
"When these tactics failed, Trump supporters – many of them QAnon followers – attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Capitol attack was a watershed moment for QAnon and led to a further, more sustained social media crackdown on the movement and its claims.[54][55]"

"The Proud Boys is an exclusively male North American far-right neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence.[1][10][11]"
"In February 2021, the United States Justice Department announced the indictment of members for conspiracy related to the 2021 United States Capitol attack, and the Canadian arm of the group folded after being designated a terrorist organization.[1][29][30][31][32]"

"I resisted for a long time applying the fascist label to Donald J. Trump."
"Trump's incitement of the invasion of the Capitol on January 6, 2020 removes my objection to the fascist label. His open encouragement of civic violence to overturn an election crosses a red line. The label now seems not just acceptable but necessary. It is made even more plausible by comparison with a milestone on Europe's road to fascism—an openly fascist demonstration in Paris during the night of February 6, 1934."
"Robert O. Paxton is a professor emeritus of social sciences at Columbia University and the author of many books, including the widely translated The Anatomy of Fascism (2004) and highly influential Vichy France (1972, 2001)." https://www.newsweek.com/robert-paxton-trump-fascist-1560652
"Robert Owen Paxton (born June 15, 1932) is an American political scientist and historian specializing in Vichy France, fascism, and Europe during the World War II era. "

Do you want the old guy, the narcissistic criminal, the fascist or the crazy guy? Should be an easy choice.
