No democrat has ever helped “strengthen” a fascist institution.

Biden literally had a pig for a running mate, genius - what did you think the police really is?

I bet you can’t tell me what the first police department in the world was called or why they were created, eh?

Like all “enlightened centrists,” you don’t even know - and don’t want to know - the history of the institutions you are so desperate to normalize. Like all “enlightened centrists,” you don’t want to see the brutal violence that upholds your preciosu status quo. It’s only when it shows up on your doorstep that you start ineffectively whining about it.

It’s true what the leftists say - fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost. And it’s only the “coming home” part that you have a problem with.

And frankly I’d rather have democratic fascists anyway

Oh, I know what those look like - I grew up in Apartheid-era South Africa. They were pretty “democratic” - and their “democracy” would be quite compatible with your batshit liberal conception of it.

The US is about as “democratic” as the USSR was “socialist” - ie, they never were and never will be. You couldn’t handle actual democracy, Clyde - your understanding of politics is too constrained to even recognize it when it happens and instead you feel threatened by it.

So go… vote “harder.” But when (not if) the faux “democrats” you put your faith in delivers you onto the fascists do remember - somebody tried to explain to you why.
