Speaking on sacred ground in Normandy, the president correctly drew parallels between America’s enemies in World War II and the threats we face domestically and globally today.

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 ago.

Fascism has not gone away. The tactics of the Nazis to employ racism and demagoguery to divide society and enable their seizure of power and their gutting of democratic institutions currently are the playbook of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

    genocide-supporting Biden is the face of modern fascism. What’s more fascist than sending weapons to Israel?

      Trump wants the complete eradication of all Palestinians. He’d probably deport any with Palestinian background to get slaughtered

      Trump. Is. Way. Worse

        Trump is not the one sending weapons to Israel right now.

          Trump would send a whole lot more plus make it so elections are fixed

          If Biden loses, Trump wins

          Get this through your head

          There is no choice but Biden if you want a chance at changing things, as the alternative is a Fascist government that will, as its first show, eradicate Palestinians

            Biden’s doing a very good job of eradicating Palestinians already. He does not need the help from the orange guy.
