    Because extremist militia are mass-releasing videos of their preparation for civil war, and the alt-right talking heads supporting them. It’s insane!!

    I would define Fascism as an authoritarian system in which the person exists primarily for the glorification and development of the power of the nation above all else. The nation, in this instance, tends to be defined through the terms of "blood and soil," essentially historical boundaries (such that they benefit the state) and racial makeup when the historical boundaries don't benefit the state.

    I think it's well past time Biden directly confronted MAGA and I am glad he is finally doing it. This really isn't about politics. It's about preserving our democracy against very anti-democratic forces that are taking control of the Republican party.

    Trump is the biggest victim in all the world (when he is not the biggest bully)

    I think this thread just shows how lopsided this board is. 17 pages in one day applauding a prewritten speech that he struggled to read. I’ve stated countless times that Trump is insane, but seriously, you guys are acting like he’s Lincoln 2.0. Lol.
    The guy is not even functional

    But it is cropped and intentionally misrepresented. The rest of the image was posted later in the thread with blue and white which your picture conveniently left out.

    Or how lopsided the facts are. Both sides of an issue are not by definition equally compelling and morally defensible.

    No he didn’t, that’s just the talking points given by FoxNews propagandists.
