Biden’s D-Day Speech Nailed the Threat of Modern Fascism (www.thedailybeast.com)

With these words Biden addressed the bitter irony that haunted the commemoration ceremonies. While D-Day occurred eight decades ago, America is now just five months from an election that could bring to power a man and a movement who embody and celebrate the twisted authoritarian values of the enemies we sought to defeat so long...

Which party tried to overthrow the government again? And is still trying to?

(Criticizing the government does not count as trying to overthrow it, even if you’re lying to do so. Advancing an impeachment process or taking violent action against the government counts.)

Lol, so you’re saying lying in order to stop the will of the people is not considered trying overthrowing the government? Trying to stop the certification of an elected official, raiding the capital, building a gallow to hang the VP, not to mention trying to activate the national guard to stop the certification process. Not fascist at all, according to you.

There’s nothing wrong about critiquing the government, but if you’re willfully ignoring everything that’s happened even before the 2016 election, you’re not arguing in good faith, champ.

Lying is totally a right by the First Amendment, no matter what your goal is with it.

I never said otherwise, but they lied and still are in an attempt to overturn the election.

is that you can’t say that the “Republican Party did this” when “who did this” were a bunch of civilians who weren’t being run directly by the Republican Party.

Lowering them goalposts.

You absolutely can, who lead the charge? Who organized the entire rally? Who helped bus in the Republicans from all over the country? The GOP. They are complicit and are the ones who organized the entire coup attempt. On top of being in kahoots with right-wing militias like the proud boys who their leader (who has been charged) also had an active role on J6

So you are only fascist when you organize fascist militias in your own country? Are other countries fair game?

Nice loaded question.

How about you ask your own country? Is your country innocent of interfering with other countries?

I’ve been calling this out since I’ve joined. I’m glad he’s gone.

He’s known to post misinformation knowing it’ll rile up his rubes. Even if it gets proven as nothing of consequence, his base is already eating it up as politcal persecution.

Bag of cash doesn’t stop jurors from convicting 5 of 7 defendants in $40 million food fraud scheme (apnews.com)

A post that had nothing to do with Biden, and yet you still bring him up.

Several PA House Republicans boo officers who defended Capitol on Jan. 6 | Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell were invited to PA’s House of Representatives — but several GOP lawmakers booed and walked out (wapo.st)

Tuberville’s Stupid Response to Trump Conviction: “This is a War” (newrepublic.com)

“People in our caucus… to me, they’re not really taking this as serious as we should,” Tuberville said. “American people need to wake up. This is a war; this is a war on our Constitutional rights, our constitutional republic. This is not as much about Donald Trump as it is about the people in this country.”...

You mean the date that people on Twitter keep throwing around? I’ve yet to see a credible source back this claim up.

Theprogressivist, (edited )
@Theprogressivist@lemmy.world avatar

Yet there aren’t any sources backing whatever this “article” claims either.

Edit: The source’s source…
