Chris Hedges: Joe Biden’s Parting Gift to America Will be Christian Fascism
The Democratic Party had one last chance to implement the kind of New Deal Reforms that could save us from another Trump presidency and Christian fascism. It failed.
You're viewing a single thread.
How in the actual fuck is this douche blaming Biden when the GOP have fought tooth and nail against ANY kind of positive change in this country under a DEM president??
The fact he's managed the reforms and infrastructure and economic rebound that he has when the Supreme Court, every state GOP state attorney, and the GOP-led House have been walking anything he does accomplish back as fast as they can is practically a miracle, frankly. I mean, look at what he has accomplished despite the odds.
- Infrastructure Law ($1BILLION for roads, rail and clean water, earmarks for public transit)
- Inflation Reduction Act - reducing health insurance consumer costs, 10+ prescription dugs prices reduced
- Aid to Ukraine regardless of a broken congress
- Communication Act
- First ever Corporate Min tax
- CHIPS Act
- Hundreds of judge appointments
- Lead a campaign to cap insulin at $35
- More jobs created at this point in his presidency than any president in the last 40 years
- First President to join workers on a picket line
- Forgave $130+ billion in student loans
- Record stock market.
- Postal Service Reform Act
- Provided over $369M to reduce greenhouse emissions by 40%/7years
- Safer Communities Act (red flag laws against gun ownership I.e. domestic abusers)
- Executive order against police using excessive force , emphasis on body cameras
- Unemployment and inflation around 3% the best in the industrialized world
- Added 13.2+ million job, a record and replacing and exceeding what was lost in COVID
- Expanded NATO, adding countries who previously had no interest in joining, some along the Russian border have applied

He also funneled millions of dollars in material to police departments all over the nation in a bid to further militarize them, financed and armed two genocidal governments(thereby painting "GENOCIDER" in big, blue all-caps across the whole of the DNC's collective face), allowed for Roe v. Wade to be overturned, ratfucked two labor strikes, allowed for the RICO charging of the Stop Cop City protestors while curiously failing to mandate the same treatment for the Jan 6th rioters(because the Jan 6th rioters are just some good old boys and Biden's always been a segregationist bastard; but y'know if you don't vote for him "you ain't Black" ig), and that's just the tip of the iceberg Jim Crow, Genocide Joe's steering towards.
Further, where are all these jobs he supposedly "made" at? Indeed, Monster, and all the other job boards on the internet are still clogged with the same number of unresponsive scams they always were. Fuck a line on a stock market graph when we can't get ACTUAL, DIGNIFIED, PROPERLY-PAYING jobs. That geriatric settler motherfucker is decidedly not my goddamn ally, nor is his party to anyone in my community. Take your copy-paste radlib "VOOT BLOO" muleshit elsewhere; especially if you're going to use it to uplift the murderous Nazi swine that comprise NATO. That goes twice for all your little genocider friends, too.
"If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."
LOL. So are you planning to vote Trump and basically let democracy fade away? Because I promise that is what will happen if he's elected.
Nope! I'm staying home. America means literally worse than nothing to me. This is the nation that ripped my maternal lineage away from its proper home; enslaved, extorted, and exploited that family for hundreds of years til my generation, locked up my uncles, cousins, and nephews in federal carceral slavery while destroying my nieces, aunts, and sisters in every way that a spirit CAN be destroyed; and now sits there before me like some piece of fucking shit smuglord demanding my fealty like I feel anything resembling that toward them. I'm not washing my hands in your trough of blood, not selling my soul to the white Devil, just to maintain the lives of settlers.
Nothing of worth can be built on genocide and colonialism, never for long. You had this coming; and you deserve it for never even considering working to tear down the master's plantation. Love how it's always breathless pearl-clutching and heading for the fainting couch about Trump out of you people like Biden's not the exact same flavor of bastard, istg.
Incredibly well said. My stepdad lost everything because of the collapse of the soviet union and balkanization. Friends family, everything.
My other former stepdad is Navajo and well that should speak for itself.
Much of my family is from Ireland and fled persecution from the British.
That these gormless fucking liberals can't imagine why we have nothing but enmity and loathing of these bloodthirsty genocidal monsters displays a total lack of empathy and immense privilege and comfort constructed out of the blood and bones of the oppressed.
Aaaaand actively supporting a genocide. That's why.
Trying to unstick from a relationship with that country that has been far too close for far too long, IMHO. You see a lot of signs that they’re very unhappy with Israel’s actions, but the Israeli lobby is incredibly influential and aggressive. It is taking time to change course.
Still doesn’t negate the fact that Trump would simply be done and dusted of the whole thing and completely ignore Israeli actions, unless it caused more chaos. And those are the only two options we’ll see on the ticket in November.

No you're not, genocider. That settler motherfucker Biden literally said his support for Israel is 'unconditional', a 'blank check'. Your man's a genocider, so are you for not only repeatedly going to bat for Ukraine's nazis (for the comrades, check the modlog; this guy's gross), who genocided Donetsk and Luhansk, but ALSO for your going to bat for those who've murdered, assaulted, and razed the homes of sovereign Palestinians for the past six fucking months. You've had what you deserve coming to you for 400 years now, plantation hand.
