      There’s a sign in the image for this post that says “don’t make me vote for Trump”

          And all leftists I know from the US are aware of that, but still vote for Biden, since Trump would do so much damage. Not voting for Democrats as a leftist is accelerationist bullshit. You can perform direct action and also vote against the fascist.

          The reason people are responding to the image is because they have the most inane take pushed right into their faces.

              Maybe you should look up the definition of fascist and check whose rhetoric and actions align with what happened in Germany a hundred years ago.

              “fascism” means something specific. It’s bad that you Americans only have the choice between an average Western neoliberal colonialist and a fascist, but it’s very clear which one is the lesser evil.

                There’s no definition of fascism that applies to Trump that doesn’t also apply to Biden. Maybe you should look it up yourself.

                  I’m not shitting you, there’s actually academic definitions of the hallmarks of fascism, and you should actually look them up instead of vaguely gesturing towards the job description of Western political leaders and going “it’s totes the same thing bro, trust me bro”

                    I’m not shitting you either, I’ve read the academic definitions of fascism, and you’d have to cherrypick incredibly hard to find one that applies to Trump but not Biden. You should actually look them up instead of vaguely gesturing towards Western political leaders and going “they’re totes different bro, trust me bro”
